_anony🐭 (GoDaddy): LinkedIn is a cringefest
yippeekai (Verily): Blind is negativity. LinkedIn is positivity.
111!! (Amazon): I genuinely wish people had the courage to openly discuss atrocities and the job market on LinkedIn. The industry has been ruined by sugarcoating and fake, performative positivity.

turbodunce (Intuit): It’s a surprise promotion!
gtph4312 (Amazon): That’s the standard getting fired meeting.

Mass layoffs just get an email, no manager/HR 1:1 cause the manager isn’t aware of the layoff till it happens.
coffee777 (Synopsys): It’s clearly a layoff meeting. The standard layoff procedure in India. Be prepared. Take any important personal data from your laptop.

hryi (DocuSign): Writing is on the wall for their product. Expect another 40% cuts
njhdxh (Google): Wow. The most underperforming person in that company is the CEO. The stock performance is for everyone to see. Sure they weren’t gutted. The rot runs deep

djyss (Amazon): lol it’s a failure for them to end up at faang

That works for testing anyone, regardless of whether they’re cheating. Either way, they should have done their best to evaluate you.
