TB to the time when a Startup CEO got pissed because I didn’t use the word “Please”

My OG message - Hi XYZ, Let’s chat tomorrow because I’m down with cold.

Better to delete this post then, the risk is the same, he will know who you are based on the images you have posted. Either way, more power to you, this is one toxic CEO and hopefully you get some better offers.

While he's a huge asshole in making his point ergo losing the high ground uska point sahi hai WildForte. Thoda polish marne ke rehta hai (regardless of communicating upwards or downwards).

The way he said shows - ego pe lagi hai for sure. But irrespective of senior, junior. Sabko please bol dena chahiye.

As a senior also, all must look and sound humble.

Startup sector needs to crash and burn to bring the asshole ceos to earth. Thry think too much of themselves.

I'll be honest with you, you will be better served trying to understand your CEO than posting here. He's not wrong, however incorrectly he may have communicated. Any level in an org, all small things help come across as a professional

I also agree ..he comes across as a snobbish bastard ...but his point is valid ...to add please ...not because u are junior but because it's good to be polite ....

Your original message sounds super casual, if you are a junior and you are communicating with a CEO you can’t be this casual. I think it is really good on his part to politely show you how it is done.

politely? bro this is only 10% of the chat i’ve posted here, don’t assume that he was polite lol

Lol I am surprised. There are few people saying they get the point. But someone was ill and he already said sorry. The ceo should have said sorry didnt know you were unwell. Yes let's chat tomorrow.
