‘Sutta’ breaks, ‘Attitude problem’...: Gurugram startup employee fired 20 days into job

A Gurugram-based startup employee was reportedly fired just 20 days into his job. This incident has sparked a discussion online about workplace expectations and management styles. The employee, who shared his experience on Reddit, was allegedly being criticised for leaving work on time and for “not being down to earth.” The situation became critical when he was asked to work from the director's cabin and was then abruptly fired for looking outside during a conversation, the user claimed. Take a look at the post


In the Reddit post, the user wrote: “So I joined this startup in Gurgaon and on the third day my employer tells me I’m not down to earth, I have an attitude problem and this way we can’t work together. I didn’t understand still I said I don’t attitude, I’ll work on it although I did not even understand why he was saying that. Me and other 2 joinees used to go for tea and smoke together sometimes so he started having problems with that now. Don’t create groups, it’s not good for the company etc. After some time he started having problems with me leaving on time 7 pm. You are leaving exactly at 7, this is not good etc
All this happening in first 15 days of work.
On the 20th day around the director or owner asked to work from his cabin instead of my desk and said for some days you’ll be working here only. Dude who works like that in a cabin all day with your director. I still agreed, but at 7 pm I was looking out of the cabin to see if one the colleague I made recently a friend has left or not for our day end Sutta and the director suddenly got frustrated and said why you looking outside I’m talking here this that and asked the hr to terminate me immediately.”

Criticising the startup, one user advised: “Bakwas Log Hain Bhai seriously. Aise Log Ka Na Khud mindset grow Hota Hai Na Kise Ka Hone Dete Hain. Abhi tough Lagra Hoga Bhai But good riddance, Tu Ab effort Daal Ke Kuchh Aisi job Dhundna Jahan Log Tameez ke Ho Chahe Paise Thode Kam Ho, Ek minute Ke Liye Na Sochna Yeh Galti Teri Thi.”
“Ye startup Vale Bhagavan Samajhte Hai Khudko Choro Bhai You'll find some place better,” another user added.
