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

It’s a job, not a fucking relationship, what other kind of mindset are you supposed to have?
These people are fucking delusional

Well, my boss pays us very badly but regularly reminds us that we are all just one big happy family. These people actually exist and they have no self-awareness.

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.

This isn’t about this company, but this post just gave me PTSD from a recent interview process.
“Soo, we can’t offer you a salary even though our job listing said we would. But you’ll get 5% stake in our startup, which I’m sure will do great even though I’m using my parents money and have zero business experience! Also no vacation, 60 hour work weeks, oh and no health insurance either. We’re a small business trying to make it work!”
Legitimately had this experience after a fucking 5-stage interview process for some small startup, promising a “competitive compensation package”. I guess I should’ve been more assertive in asking their salary range when they kept giving me vague hints at a bullshit compensation.
Waste of fucking time and money. I could tell they were annoyed that I didn’t treat them as if they were Gods offering me a place in eternal bliss. I said “So you guys can’t offer me an actual salary?” and they had the audacity to come back with “well not everything is about money”…says the dude whose parents gave him $1.5 million seed money to start his own little “marketing” company.
When I declined the offer, they quipped with “Thank you for taking 8 hours of our valuable time to get to learn about the company and drink our coffee”. They also said they would reimburse my parking (city parking) to make the interviews. That never happened. Down about $150 and 8 hours. Did they expect me to fall for some sort of sunk-cost fallacy?
The ego and audacity some of these people have astonishes me. They must be so fucking miserable on the inside.

This is exactly the kind of behavior that modern capitaliam produces: money, power, and growth at any cost. Others are no longer people or equals, they are tools. Morals and ethics must be left behind to “succeed”.

Oh man, this would have made me see red. You have more self control than I do if you were able to ignore that and move on.

Ask for salary in writing, always. Usually email is easy.

It is all suspect. He got his degree in 2016, Masters in 2015, Phd in 2020. The Yatiken he associates himself with on his linked in was started in 2014 so he is not the founder of that Yatiken. There is another Yatiken company registered in 2020 that lists him but amusingly has him no longer being a manager in 2021.

What is a scrum master? Like a rugby coach?
agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Scrum is an Agile project management methodology. Basically it centers around iterated short term “sprints” of about two weeks where team members have relative autonomy, and after which there are meetings to consider any emergent issues before committing to the next sprint. It’s supposed to be more flexible and responsive than traditional “waterfall” project management, where an entire project is planned out in advance in a linear progression. Funnily enough it actually was named after the rugby term
It’s very popular in software development in particular, since oftentimes development can be broken into modular tasks that can be worked on in parallel. Many argue that it’s a fad that’s been shoehorned into applications where it isn’t useful, or that some practitioners focus so much on the structure that they big down the process with endless meetings.
A scrum master is a specialist who helps an organization implement scrum.
BehindTheBarrier@programming.dev 4 weeks ago
Unsure if a joke or not, but in the event of a serious question:
scrum masters are heads of scrum teams, their main purpose is facilitating good work conditions for the people. This generally means arranging and leading typical scrum meetings, helping workers do their job and shielding them from the Production Owner (the guy that decides what they are to make/deliver during a sprint . (sprints are 2-3 weeks long, where work is done accord the a selection at the start and interruptions are kept low during that time.)
I don’t want to say that it’s an easy roles, but it’s more a management type of role than a worker role. In my team the scrum master is also doing development work, since scrum tasks alone aren’t that huge with the way we do things.

manager of bullshit that does little to no actual work
ApeNo1@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
As others have replied yes the term was inspired by the rugby term but unlike a rugby coach who sets the teams strategy and game tactics, the scrum master in agile methodology is a tactical role that is focused on ensuring the team are observing agile ceremonies, sticking to their sprint commitments etc. What the team are doing and why is the responsibility of other roles like Product Managers who may also have Product Owners working closely with the teams whose responsibility is to have a prioritised backlog of items for the team to use as input to plan upcoming work. Usually there are higher level roles that set business level / market level strategy that gives guidance to Product Managers on where products should be focusing to meet specific business goals.

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.

AeonFelis@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Even from a pure selfish perspective, this is the more important issue. That interviewee (who’s name I won’t write, as to not increase the score of this post when people search it) already can’t work there because he failed the interview (or because the interview failed him) and the damage was already done (his name got exposed), but anyone else who considers interviewing with Dr. Alok Kashyap of Yatiken Software should consider this a warning that if they do - their name may be exposed as well.
nickiwest@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
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.
Dashi@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I would guess the “money-driven mindset” had a lot to do with it. The interview went well, he was a good fit, but they didn’t offer him enough. With some back and forth on compensation souring communications enough to make the owner butt hurt enough to post this.
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 weeks ago
Exactly… Do these idiots not realize how easily readable they are? I’ve never subjected myself to LinkedIn, so I couldn’t say, but do people actually respond positively to posts like this there?

It would only be more obvious if they used sock puppets, controlled by the CEO as he tries to use different voices for each one.
One of the bots even copy-pasted the CEO’s words as if they were their own.

That seems to happen if you report a post. It’s still up, just once you report it Linkedin prevents you from seeing it
noxypaws@pawb.social 4 weeks ago
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.
frog_brawler@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
You didn’t think LinkedIn was doing anything wrong when they asked people to put up pictures of themselves? You didn’t catch on that LinkedIn is the biggest facilitator of workplace discrimination?
noxypaws@pawb.social 4 weeks ago
I never thought linkedin wasn’t doing anything wrong
Serinus@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Well, it’s hard to call it libel, because they hardly made any actual claims. I was waiting to hear about the “unprofessional behavior”, but they seem to have forgotten that part?
The only unprofessional behavior seems to be the post itself. If you’re going to make allegations, make actual allegations or don’t say anything.
surph_ninja@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
He might have wanted to run this by an HR person before posting. Asshat is definitely getting sued for this.
random8847@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
The company looks to be from India so he most probably isn’t getting sued, sadly.

Wait I thought the person you replied to was saying the person who was interviewed name should be censored. Not the poster’s name.
Or am I missing something? That does happen more often than I’d like.

wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
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.

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.

One of the few advantages to my chosen field is that my experience level in my specialty means I’m in demand enough that recruiters will just message me on places like linkedin and indeed so I’ve started putting my status as open to work and just constantly neg them and their job listings like “you listed a salary but it’s a really wide range what does that look like for ten years of experience” then when they give a shitty response or I just run out of questions to neg with I block them. a) it’s super fun and b) this is my community service to help new grads. Giving back to the community and all.
