Work Reform

Sounds like someone who got lowballed, said "no thank you", and a CEO with a chip on their shoulder got butthurt.

A CEO accusing someone else of having a money driven mindset sure is something.

All 3 companies he has “founded” are only 7 months old. Prior to that he has been mostly a scrum master and business analyst. He has no people management experience, no experience in establishing and executing strategies, and this post illustrates all of these short comings.

I can't think of a faster way to make me not want to work for you than for you to post details about my name, current work, and our interview.

The "unprofessional conduct" that he's alerting us to is his own behavior, right?

I read that and thought, "Whatever is coming is probably a huge breach of business etiquette." And I was right.

Edited to add: If the candidate's behavior in the interview was so egregious, why would you even waste your time with follow-up calls? It sounds like they wanted to hire the guy, but he wasn't interested in working for them after the interview. Sour grapes, anyone?

Holy hell they're even astroturfing their thread. Report for harassment, it includes doxxing someone.

I reported this post for harassment. LinkedIn said "nope this is fine":

This is pretty fucking egregious. I don't care if the candidate was wildly unprofessional or not, you don't fucking drop names like this publicly.

If I was that candidate I'd be calling lawyers right about now.

Also, if you reported it, they don't let you see it afterwards, even if they refuse to take it down. So it may look like they've taken action when all they've done is make it sorta look like they did, just to you.

He might have wanted to run this by an HR person before posting. Asshat is definitely getting sued for this.

Big "you can't quit, because you're fired" energy.

I'm sure people will be lining up to work for you, now!

Yep, his post is pretty unprofessional.

Pretty sure this is tortious interference.

I like how they say it's a mutual endeavor and yet they obviously wasted this applicant's time.

Good on Gupta for ghosting them.

Don't everyone book an appointment all at once, o.k.

Soft attempt at blacklisting.

Yeah, let's allow asshole C level dicks to publicly shame employees now, without any shred of evidence, or anyway to defend yourself. What could possibly go wrong?

Anybody else feel extra bothered by his use of "professional calibration" like workers are just some machine?

Why did you not censor the guys name??? All you're doing is hurting them more by making this post.

I imagine if he's money driven he'll sue their asses off for defamation and get a new car.

Not sure what they offered him but they probably handed him a settlement

Unprofessionalism is maybe the least significant critique you could receive. In fact it's a good thing, assuming you're actually doing your job reliably and everybody is, like, safe around you. That's all that matters.

He's mad he got ghosted? What a chode

I don't know anything about this company, but in a lot of this would legally be considered libel and they could get sued.

Also this is a dumb thing to do. If I saw this I would not apply to this company.

I've interviewed a lot of people for jobs, I've seen no-shows and stuff like that. When that happens you simply remove them from your pipeline and move on.

Money-driven mindset, haha, you do you, Yash Gupta!

Bringing a beer to his interview was also a red flag. He brought exactly one beer. ONE.
