MEP Project Engineer - Billing & Executions

something people rarely admit - Social proof runs the hiring market

Yep. Let that sink in for a bit. The "Open to Work" badge never got the respect it deserved. Facts as Facts. Some Recruiters & Hiring Managers saw it and thought.. - Nice - they're available : Lets capitalise - Okay - they're available : Lets see where they fit Others? They judged it. Hard. Period. Point is.. The moment you LOOK like you're struggling, people assume you are the problem. If you are at the end of the rope... No job in months. Savings running dry. Rejections piling up You need to signal to the market that you need a job NOW. What do you do? A "Desperate as Hell" badge? (clearly the "Open to Work" badge did not work) A cry-for-help LinkedIn post with CFBR comments? A profile banner that says "Will work for Food" or "fati padi hai.."? Guess what happens next?? You could be the most skilled candidate in the world or a rather decent one at your craft and domain, but if you are out here making public SOS signals.. People weirdly process them as.. - Wait… why hasn't anyone hired them yet? - Maybe they're not as good as they say - Why do they have to advertise it? Good people don't need to - They must be struggling if they're making it that obvious - If they were truly talented, they wouldn’t be in this position Now, instead of getting more interviews, you've tanked your own value Because hiring is NOT about who needs it the most It's about who looks like they DON'T need it at all Because in hiring, being too available makes you look LESS valuable You need a job - but you can’t look like you need one That's how messed up this game is If you're unemployed but confident? People are skeptical If you're unemployed and desperate? You're radioactive & a hot mess If you're still employed? Now... suddenly, everyone wants to talk You need to be desperate enough to keep applying, but not desperate enough that people can see it. You have to struggle in silence because the moment the market SEES you struggling, it assumes you are the problem Know why?? Because hiring is built on supply and demand, not fairness I'm saying it is what it is .. unfortunately. On the flip side, I know people who have been out of work for 8 months and still refuse to adjust. - I only want remote - I'm not taking a pay cut - I won't move domain let's get this straight - You're losing the game but refuse to change your playbook. You are drowning but won't grab onto anything that isn't their dream job. How smart 🤦‍♂️ Remember this : The system selectively rewards talent It rewards the people who know how to be wanted If you don't learn how to manufacture demand for yourself, you will always be at the mercy of those who do Now.. lets talk about badge color and badge ideas. Who's up?

Zorvyn hiring scam or legit? (INR 18 LPA Associate role)

I just received an offer letter from Zorvyn for an Associate Software Engineer position with a CTC of 18 LPA. The weirdest part is that I only gave an Online Assessment (OA) test—there was absolutely no interview and no discussion with an HR representative before this offer landed in my inbox. I’ve seen several warnings on Reddit and YouTube claiming this company is a scam, and the lack of a proper hiring process is a massive red flag. I have few questions... Does anyone actually know about this company or have a real experience with them? Why are they doing this? What is the point of putting in the time and effort to create assessments and offer letters if it's all fake? It seems like a useless waste of their own time too.

Operations team is a new Untouchability

I work in company called "வேலைநாடு", they are mostly into blue collar hiring which sells plans to the needy. Almost 90% of their DB consist of blue collar workers but not limited to Field Sales Executives, Telecallers, Customer Support Executives, Drivers, cooks maid. They have four workspaces in one of India's metro cities. One office was occupied by Corporate Employee which has around 100 people and other was occupied by around 500 Telecallers and 100 others like process excellence, quality and so on. Here corporate people are feeded with silver spoon, whereas operation team was not ever feeded with plastic spoon. Corporate employees has 4 restrooms with two back to back doors whereas entire operation block has only 4 rest rooms that too 3 for boys and 1 for girls. Corporate employees gets 2 days holidays a week along with 22 paid holidays and other holiday benefits for National holidays. But Operations Teams gets only one without paid holiday every month. Even that too. Holidays will be added to your account only end of next month. They have created a system where if you didn't login for 3 consecutive days, your termination mail will be automatically send to you. Even the worst part is. Swiggy's owner know how much delivery partners because they are in the delivery field. Rameshwaram cafe owner knows how much cook suffers because he is in that field. Here the point if you are in same field you won't let your end employees suffer, coz you know their pain. But this company is in blue collar space. They did research on blue collar industry and use to post it in LinkedIn frequently. As per their research Neary 50% of blue collar workforce is fully dependent on daily wage. This company has planned to fire 50 customer care executives before a month due to a reason. They brilliantly have sent a mail stating revising appointment orders whereas the notice period was reduced from 30 days to 7 days. After a month. They have fired an entire team. Have you faced same?
