In one of my friend ex-company manager was tired of bugs and system going down very often. So instead of focusing on code quality, unit test, automating flows. He decided he would maintain sheet based on number of bugs fixed for devs and for QA's it would be number of bugs found.
Whichever team would fix highest number bugs would get extra bonus or something. Similarly for QA.
Guess what one team figured out how to beat the system. They dev and qa teams teamed up. tons of bugs were written and only to be found by QA and quickly squashed by Dev's.
Plan backfired. Client was paying for all the extra hours spent on fixing this. I don't remember of the bonuses were paid.
In previous company hr gal wanted devs to login into HRMS portal and mark attendance check in, check out time everyday.
1 hero setup a cron job on staging server to hit the HRMS portal api using admin credentials to mark everyone present at 9 am sharp, needless to say for few months everyone was euphoric 🤣 Then the leadership realised and decided to treat us as adults, finally no more attendance checks 🎉
Question is where did this Robin hood get admin credentials from? 😂
Let's say it was a combination of clever guess work and poor security practices at setup level.
The OGs for this are the ex-employers of our grand/great-grand parents: British Government in India -> During the time of colonial India, the government became concerned that too many deadly cobras roamed the streets of Delhi. The leaders came up with a clever solution – pay a bounty to any citizen who brought forward a dead cobra. The “cash for snakes” program worked like a charm for a while, and the streets became clear of these poisonous reptiles.
But then a shift happened. The payouts began to increase at a staggering pace. When British officials investigated, they discovered an unexpected consequence. Entrepreneurs started breeding cobras in mass numbers, so they could be killed and delivered to the Government for a handsome reward. Outraged and refusing to be taken advantage of, the British officials immediately canceled the program. At that point, the market for dead cobras dried up completely for budding snake startups, so the entrepreneurs cut their losses by releasing the snakes into the streets of Delhi, making the original problem of wild cobras far worse. The government wasted tons of cash, only to end up with a much bigger problem.
My manager in previous company wanted to measure productivity by counting commits made to master repo without taking into account "impact" of the said commits... Need I say more 😊
Non tech manager?
No, he's just an idiot.
Previous startup did not have mention of compulsory notice period in policy. Quit the fuck in a single day. Toxic BS
Taking about being toxic. Curious how Amazon treating you?
Manish Tiwari's Org culture fucked up. Dunno about other orgs. Culture eats strategy for breakfast, MT eats culture for his breakfast. Desi FMCG sales people as tech company leaders big no no. Shit flows top down.
WFH backfired and now RTO is backfiring 🙃
How is RTO backfiring? Asking for a friend wink wink
The good ones are leaving and the mediocre ones are staying

Me ex-company had a 6 month notice period and they would guve 5lac in advance. But the notice period would start once 5lac is given which is only given after successful completion of x number of trainings. I and many others didn't do the training intentionally. We never got 5lac and notice period remained 1 month. We keep pushing the deadline with hr and talent team that we are working and completing assignments. We gained almost 1 yr exp and left for higher package with 1 month notice only. ✌️✌️
What policies of Rapido backfired @Paneer ??
🤣🫨🫨
