Interview for a month only to get fired in a second

Employment and loyalty are just slavery with extra steps. Really wish we as the candidates had any power, but we just gotta power through the interviews and the layoffs, am I right?

Where could one find Sanitation Workers after 2pm-ish? For a college project.

My friend has to survey BBMP/Bangalore's Sanitation workers, but they have college in the morning which is when usually workers can be spotted. Is there any way to talk to them after 2pm? Any place in and around Koramangala is fine. This is urgent as the submission is very close. TIA.

The interview never ends. Your job is to impress me every second of your existence, serf.

How dare you think that the expectation we explicitly set after you passed the interview was what was *actually* expected of you?

The sheer lack of proactivity is disappointing.

It was a test, and clearly you failed.

Enjoy staying at home. There is no seat for you at our prestigious office. /s

When will the startup slop end?

The number of vibe-coded apps posing as actual gamechangers is way too many.

Disgusts me that people still use the s-word. So backward.

What do you mean you need money to survive and exist? You are being so demanding. The entitlement is off the charts /s

But seriously though... what was going on in the mind of the person who actually wrote this on LinkedIn? Why else would someone wanna attend an interview with you? Because your face is square instead of being round-ish? Tsk.

Glossary of Hellish Interviewers | Drop one-liners about your horrible interview experiences

This is just for quickly educating anyone who is about to attend an interview, and wants to cross-check if their prospective employer is a hell-spawn.

Summarize: name of the company, what you applied for, # of rounds/assignments, what (all) went wrong, keywords of all untoward behavior.

This will remain as a permanent highlight on this subreddit for constant updates/reference.

Of course, you are more than welcome to make individual posts as well!

▲ 6 r/Zomato

Got too angry, decided to send off an elaborate email that they'd anyways use to train AI.

I already had been trying to get away from eating outside, and these people just fueled that fire further. Here's the email:

Order # 8*************

ZAZA Mughal Biriyani? More like Ja-Ja Thug-al boo-riyani, considering how unko kabka business se chale 'jaa'na chahiye tha; considering how both them and you are thugs, and considering no amount of booing is ever going to make Zomato unprofitable.

I think they took 'non'-veg way too literally and gave me neither vegetables nor an animal that eats vegetables.

Close to 8 years of ordering. Not once have I ever raised a fake claim for a refund that I did not need or deserve. And yet despite the photos clearly showing that there absolutely no chicken pieces, I am told to email? Email? What is this, a writing exercise for me to burn my calories? First this started with "cannot resolve this after X hours because window has passed" because you had to deal with scammers, but now when I request IMMEDIATELY after I receive, I get no human response?

Only one with an already oil-pressed, crumbled husk of a brain would still wonder that "IF" I am asking for a refund. I was hungry. I debated which restaurant to buy from. I spent my time. I could have gone hungry to bed (which is what I did), but I decided to order that night, but that was the biggest mistake of my life, considering I never thought after ordering so regularly I'd be put through such bs. When my grandkids ask if I ever have had regrets in my long life, I'd say, "yes, installing Zomato." 

Zomato, more like zor-mat-do, because apparently even the slightest request for a correction is too much effort these days.

Sure, spend all of the money being saved from these refunds into researching cOnSuMer pSyChOLogY and how 'Gold' can be given at 1 rupee but money still can be earned via platform fees. 

Sure, bring in friction yourself by having me to email instead of directly reimbursing me, and then victim-blame me by saying again that some arbitrary window has passed, that Zomato is just an aggregator and not the aggravator.

I dare you to send me the most cliched response so that I am motivated to eat food right from the communal trash cans of the PGs nearby, because I am sure even those would have more chicken pieces (I mean, anything is greater than 0 after all) and would have fresher rice even after all the street dogs slobbering and having sloppy seconds all over it. 

Don't come and give me a lecture about language either. I know that you were also trained to just give me such responses, and I also know that you do have the ability to go and see that in these 8 years I have never gotten so angry. What is the point of all those cutesy notifications if you do not even have basic courtesy? 

Unless the refund is going to be a 100% of what I paid back to my source account (again do not use that coercive bs with me asking me if I want credits: y'all are so good at stealing that I am sure y'all will use all of these puns in your marketing material as well and never credit me), please do not bother.

Cold regards,

Whatever.

What, according to you, differentiates a cafe as a place to only chill from a cafe to only work at?

Or would you say that the line is blurry?

I am mainly trying to understand how Blue Tokai or Third Wave can be considered as a second workplace whereas Brik Oven might be considered as a place to chill.

Overlaps always exist, and there are definitely people who chill at Blue Tokai. Tell me your opinion as well as any technicalities you might want to dive deep into.

can't host but I can definitely cook a decent biriyani. 28M here. Not here to do the same post about meeting "females". idc about your age or gender. Just bored out of my mind since being laid off and just wanna chill. So if you can host and have utensils and have had a traumatic past, we can definitely vibe.
