Shoutout to Anita for being a rockstar and not taking bullshit even though she has been outnumbered. Source - www.linkedin.com/posts/anita-k-a1569b177_share-like-consulting-activity-6923318555711012864-xERK/
Anita is 100% right in this scenario. I've been on both sides of hiring situations like this(sans being called a whore). I was once hired and when I came in on my first day, they literally told be nevermind, we changed our minds on the project development. I also hired someone and after an hour into their first supposed day, I called them only to be told they decided to take a different job. All I'm asking is just to send a freaking email or text or something in these situations. It's one thing if interviews are still happening, but if an offer has been accepted, at least inform the other party that you have declined theirs. The company has a much greater responsibility to do this than the employee so it's sad how bad companies can be about this.
@@TheJjjoj I've been called also unprofessional for declining an Indian company in Europe.
But not a Gigolo..
Well done Anita
In the UK when you are out of work you have to do 35 hours a week job search and must attend all interviews and apply for as many suitable jobs as possible or they stop your benefits. Once had 5 interviews in a week. HR should know its is bad PR threatening candidates and very unprofessional, so is firing people with no good reason as employees may have family who are customers. So suggest they make sure their brain engaged before they open their big mouth, big picture and all. Peace 'n' out
I commented on the post hope that helps
Joshua, you're missing one major point here... Indian men are HORRIBLE with dealing with wmn in IT. She wasnt going to get any sympathy. Might have seen sympathy, if Anita were a man. But a wmn... ha. no . Indian men are known for being very sexist and rude, and theyre HUGE KISS-AZZ'S in Corporate society. Kizz azz to wht ppl, step on blk ppl and other indians, esplly wmn.
Sorry, dont shoot the messenger, just known thing... in IT
Notice that every one of the people victim blaming her are either in HR, recruiting, or their title is a clear indication they do not have a real job at all.
Not to mention most seem to be amles
Indians?
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Unbelievable
do people with real job are on Linkedin? haha.
India work culture seems to make the US work culture seem almost healthy in comparison.
Still US work culture needs an overhaul.
The company I work for has an office they are growing in India. I’ve seen the HR manual for the India division and the stuff for the “work culture” is nuts.
I'm an Indian, and the labour saws are horrible here! I face so much harassment from bosses and even peers. There's no recourse since the work culture is the same in all companies 🙁
Mostly service companies do these bullshit .
One company I worked at had an Indian as a manager and it was a toxic department. Upside was that it was at a US based company so they had to scale back their toxic traits.
And they explained they left India because of the toxic work culture, yet they tried to replicate it in the US. Boggles my mind
Cases should be bought by this woman against the Recruiter and all the people who harassed her on LinkedIn. Hopefully they kept their posts up and their home addresses can be tracked to find the local police for each person. The women's right commission should also be used as in this case I dont feel it would be an abuse of the system to bring cases against all those individuals. Governments/Companies/Organizations want good slaves who are married/have kids. After about 20 years working, I'll tell young people you should not have any loyalty to any organization, they will turn on you in a second when its convenient and fire/replace you. Also to ensure no slavery, young people dont get married and dont get a girl pregnant, make sure she takes the birth control pill daily in front of you and both wear protection. You will just condemn your new child to increasing poverty and freedomless slavery and these control/money/job trends worsen. Promote this idea in videos and social media to help prevent more young people into this new slavery.
She did nothing wrong, she did the right thing. Tell people about terrible companies so good people don't work for them.
These people saying "both are responsible" or "she was unprofessional", I'm pretty sure calling someone a whore and threatening them for having the audacity to politely decline a job offer is not only unprofessional, it borders on criminal. Anyone who thinks she bares any responsibility for ANYTHING needs to have their head examined. On the bright side, she made a fantastic choice by deciding NOT to work for these psychopaths. Also, look at the public service she is doing by simply putting their BS on display for the world to see.
Hey corporate psychos. Here is a free tip. If you don't want it broadcast to the whole world, DON'T HIT SEND.
She should file a case with the local police in Mumbai as she has the digital proof in Texts.

Use our right of speech to speak out about these bad companies, and not stoop to their level.
More than being called a prostitute, the threat that "things will happen to you" and "You live in Mumbai" was the most horrifying thing to me. That's like crazed stalker stuff. None of these guys seems the slightest bit concerned about that.
I don't like to generalize a country, but I can't imagine what it would be like to live over there, what with all the scammers, etc,. It must be a corporate-captured, authoritarian nightmare that makes the US look like a picnic.
@@Seattle-2017 The sad thing is India is the largest democracy in the world, yet is so backwards culturally. Sexual assault is almost normalized there.
They don’t care about women over there
@@Seattle-2017 LinkedIn attracts corporate suck ups and probably makes the work culture seem worse than it is. Can't say much about the other stuff.
@@MelaniaRose Pewdiepie exposed them for the bobs and vegana meme. Even reddit exposed a community, they call themselves "currycels". Let's not say the entire country is like that, but there are a lot of "cels" in India.
Oh man, as an Indian, I face SO MUCH harassment from managers/directors/recruiters and even peers. Labour laws are horrible! I feel stuck 😔
Other things are ok but you know nothing about labour laws.
work as a freelancer, it's the same in my country where they work you like a slave and pay you pennies, i started working as a freelancer and i must say: it's the best decision i've ever made, i work a few hours a day for 2-6 the pay.
@@nandi7772 how did you know that he/she does not know? Are you a personal acquaintance of that person? Just curious how were you able to figure that out.
@@humanfirst11 The guy is saying labour laws in India are not great but in reality they are so harsh that it becomes very hard to do business.
@@nandi7772 so that means you are aware of the labor laws in India?
I love how companies have "zero harassment tolerance" yet it's a compete lie. The moment you do something they don't like you will be harassed.
It's like a red flag - if anything has "zero harassment" warnings, it's because there's a LOT of harassment 🙄
"We've been trying to improve the company culture" translation: we had a lot of near miss lawsuits and were worried about getting sued again.
All these men sound like professional predators. Can't _imagine_ the *other* situations in which they utilize these insidious-ass shaming and gaslighting skills... No one calls the person out b/c they know they ALL act like that and it would be calling _themselves_ out.
Indian women are routinely assaulted on public transportation systems by Indian men. The situation, at one point during the early 2000s, received so much attention around the world that the Indian police actually had to start cracking down on those predatory gangs of men, although initially the police put the onus on the victims to "be more aware of your surroundings."
There all bots..
Bot or not - still predatory

That whole thing seems to be professional political spin to rile up people to baah 'muh toxic' on internet forums for California politics-gain. Matt Taibbi has an excellent series of articles covering the case.
I’m afraid Anita will have difficult times for bringing awareness to problems in Indian work culture. Those who victim blaming her are used to the toxicity and get angry at her for not swallowing it and suffer with them. She not only spat it out, she’s pointed at it so that others don’t suffer. They are furious that now they are the only ones who will suffer while others avoid and have healthy life lol.
Many years ago I met coworkers from Anita’s country. All of us worked for a big international company and met them during training. Great guys to hang out with, hard workers, and smart. But then the topic of hierarchy and bosses came up. The mood became sour: They were absolutely unwilling to question a boss, were totally conditioned to the “hierarchy”, and even became very defensive when posed the question of if they would do whatever crazy thing their boss asked of them, to which they affirmed. I then understood their mentality: If you were lucky enough to land a decent paying position in that country you better be always thankful, do as you’re told and “play the game”. It has a lot to do with culture, and the level of open questioning of authority we afford ourselves in western countries, is way less acceptable in those parts of the world. The reaction of the recruiters and many commenters is not surprising.
Even in "Western" countries, the same kind of crap happens. It's just that some supremacists deny that it happens because they think themselves superior.
I've seen and experienced plenty of abusive behaviour. Victims of such abuse are always disbelieved and discriminated against. The abusers know they can get away with it with zero consequences because everyone else thinks of the victim as a lesser person, less than human and one not deserving of rights.
@@FlabbyTabby Certainly, but when you compare, I’ll rather be a “victim” in an imperfect western work environment where at least you have some choices and some protections, rather than a work environment highly conditioned against employees cemented by strong cultural traditions. You can be abused in a western work environment as much as anywhere else, but it remains your choice whether you want to stick with it or give it a shot somewhere else where you have a chance of a different culture. Speaking from experience after 18 years in the work force and several roles.
@@alarriag1 " it remains your choice whether you want to stick with it or give it a shot somewhere else "
Lol no. Lots of employers brand you as a problem employee if you tell them that you had bad experiences at a previous workplace. Complain about abusive behaviour from your previous boss? The people who were just praising you will immediately say you're not suitable for the job. Doesn't matter where you are in the world, abusive workplaces, bosses and practices always exist. It's not that easy to just "get a new job". Even when everyone's hounding you to come interview with them.
Lots and lots of discrimination factors into whether or not you can get a job.
It's based on how the hiring manager, interviewers and recruiters perceive you, not your actual skills.
As a Pakistani-American, I think there may be two reasons. the Caste system where the higher caste will keep the lower castes down by conditioning them to not question "their superiors". The other is colonialism and the mindset it promoted. For 200 years the British were our bosses and were unquestionable, even after independence the attitude of don't question the boss probably got passed down. I wish Tipu Sultan had succeeded before Gandhi or Jinnah since he was allied with the French and could have imported the French Revolution's attitudes on such issues while Gandhi and Jinnah were educated in the UK and carried the old British attitudes to some extent.
We have an outsourced company switching us over to Oracle right now. All of the software people are Indian, and we have seen some rather rude or blunt conversations between them to people who are lower on the totem pole. One of the people who works for my team is Indian-American (I'm guessing second generation) and said it's a common cultural trait that they are much more "You need to shut up and do what I'm telling you NOW" in their management hierarchy than what we would consider acceptable in the US.
I can't even imagine sending such a plainly sexist and threatening message as a recruiter and NOT being worried about a massive lawsuit
India is india
Welcome to India, where lawsuits go on (I'm not exaggerating) for decades.
@@air9music isn't it easier to just bribe the cop before anything gets documented? ;)
lawsuit? I was thinking about going straight to a police officer with those screenshots, saying "Mumbai is dangerous & you're a whore" is scary af

👏👏 For Anita for making the best choice for her and 🤗🤗 for Joshua for sticking up for her and always putting corporate trash on BLAST!!
14:12 "If you really don't give a s**t and you plan on never crossing that bridge again, go ahead! Burn that bridge!
In my opinion, burn the bridge! It lights the way forward!"
What a line! I'm stealing this Josh! 😂🤣👌🏾💯
FACTS!!!
Blackmailing, threatening, gaslighting, insulting as well as shaming you just because you are just an applicant, that's instantly redflags even any one of the criteria the recruiter or HR did this to you..
A few years ago I was in contact with a corporate recruiter from Amazon. He seemed like a nice guy at first. He kept telling me that he was, "on my side," "pulling strings for me," "calling in favors with the higher-ups," and so on... long story short, I get an offer that seemed a little low, so I do some research and it turns out this guy was low-balling me by half the industry standard for that type of work. When I confront him about it he flipped out and tired to guilt trip me by saying I wasted his time.
You wasted a RECRUITER'S time!?! Now that's rich!
That whole thread reminds me exactly how rape victims get victim blamed. They're told that they were wearing a provocative dress or something which caused the rape and it's not the rapist's fault. Exactly what's happening here where they say that if Anita didn't decline, all this threatening wouldn't have happened so it's completely her fault. Also, you hear the same b.s. about not "naming and shaming" when it's to help protect other people from a rapist and in this instance, let other workers know about a shitty company.
Victim blaming in general is more due to anxiety. People don't want to accept that such a horrible thing can happen to them too. They don't want to accept that they don't have control. So, people make up reasons for such a thing to happen to a victim, and then say "if you just avoid doing X,Y and Z the bad thing won't happen".
@@AlmondBean730 Would denial fit better? I mean, 90% of the people in that thread were in denial as well lol
@@FlabbyTabby Thats an interesting take on the reason behind that behaviour.
@@emmm_4465 Read up about the just world fallacy. That is basically the reason behind victim blaming.
A denial of reality, because reality is too scary to cope with.
Even if you’re not wearing anything sexy then why were u out at night or why did u park in the back of the parking lot . I remember dad blaming a woman for being raped at a car wash the one that you wash yourself he was like she should’ve been out there at night washing her car. I was attacked never told my parents . Cause I remember what my dad said
If she didn’t accept that job, she would have declined another which apparently is still “unprofessional” … and if she accepted both, she would be “playing the system” … and if she only applied to one job and didn’t get an offer, she wouldn’t be “trying a hard enough”
You really can’t win with people sometimes. 🧐🧐🧐
Josh, you hit the nail on the head when you compared Anita K's commenters to the commenters who were shaming you for talking about your family problems publically. It's an automatic response by toxic people (or people who have been raised in toxic environments) to try and shut down anyone who doesn't keep silent.
Yeah, think it was massively brave of him to discuss his family issues. Made me wanna 'hug' him, and say... it'll get better.. I swear. But gotta severe ties, from that toxicity or ull never heal.
LOL@ “You should Dileep your account!”
That was hilarious
This is actually a huge cultural issue in India, which drips over into all other aspects of life there.
Firstly, it is disgusting that such an incident happened. I entirely condemn it. This is a classic case of victim blaming. On the other hand it is wrong to generalize that "such attitudes" towards women is rampant in India. Based on what I've seen so far, it is the US that often ranks among the top place when it comes to misogyny, crime cases against women per capita. I don't wish to draw comparisons between India and the US. But these problems are not unique to India. The US is not immune.
@@krishnasiddharth5032 He is referring to employer-employee relations, not man-woman relations. What does misogyny has to do with anything? When did the OP said that "such attitudes *towards women* are rampant" ?
@Krishna Siddharth Lol lady you didn't even watch the video. It ain't even about Misogyny you goober.
@@krishnasiddharth5032 Your comment is such a clear example of a Freudian slip lol. First of all, no one mentioned misogyny but also the fact that you’re desperately trying to paint the narrative that India is less misogynistic than the US is hilarious to me.
@@krishnasiddharth5032 Very true. Misogyny is a worldwide problem and it happens everywhere. Good thing to remember.
I waited two months for an interview, was told I was a great fit and my experience was a great match and had to call weeks afterwards and hear from the new HR contact that I didn't get the job. I've had to reach out for months to hear anything at all, and I've been rejected last minute.
Companies won't pay your bills when the job you're counting on falls through so who cares what they need? Fuck em.
Honestly I'd start invoicing companies as a consultant to their HR department if they waste your time. Claim it's an invoice for time and material that would have been otherwise spent on better opportunity. Let them chew on it.
@@Irishcream216 Especially for the useless algos/DS crap that many companies ask software devs for any position. Completely irrelevant and useless for most interviews, but it's the only thing tested.
Say what? This is outrageous. If they behave like this now just imagine what it will follow.
I feel bad for saying this , as outrageous as it is , this right here is so common here in Mumbai . If you notice the lady is calmer because she is most likely a victim of Eve teasing on top of this . Eve teasing so common that women don't even have the time to complain . You could start the day with it and end up being insulted in the office and then walk out as if nothing happened. Those boys' comments are very much *look what you made me do*
Josh: I'm going to get more positive in my videos
Also Josh: Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in....
Josh, I feel for you, but as you saw, there is no way to look at a ridiculous situation like this recruiter's comment and not pull your hair out. That's just crazy. It seems like companies and employees in India have a very different concept and perspective of work vs. places like the United States. I feel bad for Anita as she seems to be the only one that handled this situation appropriately. Hopefully she doesn't listen to these people in the LinkedIn comments.
This is a positive video. Read between the lines. Josh does this for all of us. Net gain in my book.
@@matthewgilfus1640 I think my humor escaped you…
It's almost like the universe created this very scenario purely for that reason.
I would also say that he's landed in a place where he's the voice for a great many people that are effectively voiceless. In his recent video about his reimagining his channel he was doubting if he was doing something positive. Undeniably he is.
That doesn't require happy go lucky feel good content. Doing social good is done through spending the capital he has though his followership, and becoming their voice.
Like the episode where he let the former employee of the grocery store tell his story.
No, there's a lot of abuse that happens even in US companies. They're just careful to not do it over email or any other medium. And they always pick victims that they know no one will believe and who they know they can abuse and get away with it.

Why is anyone taking the company’s side at all? Does corporate kool-aid taste that good?
Sycophants? Boot lickers? I don't see how or why would anybody defend the company on this situation, the girl literally got threatened and these lunatics took the company's side.
no offense but some indians, pakistanis, other desis, etc. are such company lapdogs. they make the whole race look bad. it almost looks to non desis that desi people lack a backbone.
My take is that is the way they do business and don't want to change it
Yea never understood being such a die hard for the corporation, especially after working retail, and now call center work (really want out, trying to figure that out). But I would love to know how they got the kool-aid to taste so good
@@RiannaNicole yeah for me working a second more than the standard 8h is often too much.
Thank you for calling these trash companies out and speaking up for people that can’t speak up for themselves
I am sorry but those guys confirm every stereotype I have about Indian men
20yrs in IT, not a single one... said anything I havent seen them do a million times over. Theyre rude, sexist, racysts, corporate kizz-azz's
🥲🥲🥲
There were a lot of women in the comments as well, but go on with the stereotype i guess.
@@rahilmalhotra001 thank you, I willl... esplly since we BOTH know the men outnumbered the wmn, easily 10 to 1. Its not really a stereotype, BTW ... when 99% of the comments followsuit, right? so nice try... I guess.
theyre just RUDE AF....
Classic example of double standards. It’s normal when companies reject you but when the candidate rejects a company then the candidate is suddenly unprofessional.
Bunch of company simps. Look out for yourself and don’t be loyal to a company
You don't have to apologize for being negative. You should be angry when you witness an injustice being perpetrated.
This is why I'm an introvert. You can't trust anyone. These people are trying to gaslight her hard.
Keep quiet or the company politics will get you. They're more effective than the government at gaslighting.
Social anxiety is not introversion
Introversion is all about brain stimulation. Extraverts lack the innate stimulation the introverts have so they choose to be more social and do outdoor stuff. That's why being social as an introvert is tiring. Keep introverts on enough dose of sedatives for longer time and they will do the same stuff the extraverts do.
@@imiqar2607 I wasn't gonna say it, but correct. We both know what his intention was.
@@imiqar2607 Well said.
"This would never happen in the US."
Sure, maybe not a direct threats like this.
But the US is the capitol of capital.
American companies are MASTERS of gaslighting and packaging predatory policy and pitching it to prospective employees as though they are "perks" of working for the company all in the name of profit.
John Oliver had a great example in a recent episode of Last Week Tonight. In his episode on the trucking industry, he exposes how trucking companies pitch "independent contracting" for their company and leasing the company's trucks as "freedom" when really it frees the company of all responsibility and places all liability, truck maintenance, and fuel costs on the trucker.
I've worked for predatory companies abroad. But since returning to the US, I don't really think American companies are better for the employee. They're just better at managing the optics and performative justice.
You right
Yes the US already does shady bs by outsourcing a bunch of entry level jobs to staffing agencies. 90% of the recruiters that reach out live in India or they are Indian descent but live in the US… companies want to contract everything and not pay benefits
Stuff like this happens in my country often, too, but we have a habit of exposing shit online at the tiniest of issues, so the companies are getting more reclusive 🤣🤣
Kudos to Anita, not only did she have the proper idea of ALWAYS having more than one job offer at hand, but she also showed the lame behaviour of that company online. Sadly Linkedin is a Simp Festival.
Come on now. Obviously every corporation everywhere in the world tries their best to get advantages for themselves and not the employee. But saying the US work culture is no better than Indian work culture is absolutely ridiculous. It's night and day bro dont even compare. There's no way you can say with a straight face youd rather work for an Indian company in India instead of an American company in the states.
You sound like a bitter princess.
I wish, we the people would clap back more often. All these companies need to get put on blast. Don't ask for professionalism if you ghost someone or would fire them without notice.
I dont get it, it just that it is linkedin and you have all those simps trying to virtue signaling how good slave company they are. Really weird.
Anita. Nobody should have to tolerate that abuse from "professionals" (or anyone else). Stay strong.
Yes Anita!. I appreciate you. That recruiter’s poor behavior is absolutely unacceptable and should be fired. If anyone ever threatens me, especially a recruiter or employer, you can bet I will share my experience with everyone. I wish you all the best Anita. Love and blessings to you.
Someone on one of the posts said she got the recruiter fired?
Good. But I'm betting management knew about and condoned this behavior, only taking action because it was publicized (then releasing the drones to attack her on LinkedIn)
More than the incident itself, I'm more scared about the effects of gaslighting that Anita has to deal with. A HR once yelled at me saying "he will "red flag" my profile from all job sites since i refused to join". And guess what - I doubled the package that they had offered with a prestigious company and joined there. This kind of recruiters are just low lives.
Just remember the hr recruiter when you are higher up in a position to hire and screw with the guy later.
@@ankansinha8497 i have the same rage as you do. But if I were to behave in the same way to him, then what example do I set for my family, friends and colleagues. So I'm sure of never going down that road.
Yup this is agreeable. I worked as a trainee for 3 months at a magazine where my editor was more of a one woman show. She consistently battered me verbally and somewhat physically. Then we come to the end of three month period and they offer me full time position. It wasn't the job I was unhappy with, It was colleague I didn't want to work with. So I respectfully denied. And next thing I know I get to hear from a friend working in The Tribune that she told everyone they fired me cuz I was gay and I had many guys chasing me around and I used to flirt with a lot of men. And I am pretty sure this is pretty hilarious to a lot of people reading this but really though?
No - this isn't funny at all. It's appalling.
@@Here4TheHeckOfIt good to know last time I told someone about this incident they made fun of me for the the whole "gay" thing
Everyone has the right to refuse an employment offer…. And feel safe doing so.
Josh, I know you recently posted a video where you wanted to pivot away from negative content. But you are shining a very bright light on this shameful situation. I’ve only been reading the comments on LinkedIn for 15 minutes, and I’ve already lost count of the number of posters who only learned about this travesty from watching your video.
You can absolutely make more positive videos, but stuff like this needs to be called out. Keep doing what you do! 👏
Companies are realizing workers aren't taking shit from them anymore and oh they're upset.
I like the justice warrior take on yourself! Some people need to have what is right and what is wrong pointed out to them! They can't seem to differentiate it for themselves!
Agreed. I sought a job and got an offer. I used the offer to take a risk on demanding 3-4 days a week working remote, because i needed to move to a different city due to my dad dying and my mother needing help. When I got the remote work i declined the other offer. I wouldn't have the balls to do that without watching your channel. Thanks Josh.
i interviewed with a company and they pretended like i was a perfect candidate. but then they low key suggested i was not social enough over a 40min interview and then also suggested i was asking too much money meanwhile employers are lining up for my asking salary. for reference im making 70k and the current market rate is like $95k+.
Are you a fire fighter ?
This is why I only apply to 'disability' positions nowadays - no one has the balls to say to an autistic, physically disabled person "you're not social enough" 🤭
@@TheNexusman7 no im in construction management for general contractors.
They blame her for dropping at the last minute, but I don't think that's what happened. Recruiter gave the "You're better come in or else" line before Anita had a chance to tell the she wasn't coming. He already knew she had declined, just trying to harass her to change her mind. Or as mean spirited revenge.
The sexism in India is really WILD
It's literally incel nation
The racists are out in full flair today
I had something like this happened but not threatened physically but threatened my “career” “it would hurt my future prospects” blah blah blah. But this company took it to another level. I’m from the states.
Thank you so much for making this video, my friend Anita is very grateful for everyone who's supporting her for standing up and what has happened.
Dude don’t worry about positivity, worry about reality which is what your content is all about and it’s appreciated!!
Joshua, you are incredible! You are articulating much of what I thought, said and felt 50 years ago. You are just better at expressing it than I and are many levels above me in your observations. But listening to you is making things jell inside of me very fast. I'm getting less and less behind you in your truthful and profound observations and commentary. Your brain is so valuable and needed! We were so shamed when I was young to express or feel the truth you know. But it is coming together inside of me because your insights were suppressed in me and others many decades ago. The culture was so fucked-up when I was young, your mind too often auto-deleted factual and truthful observation.
In my country we have a "trial" period during which time you can drop them with 0 warning just a formal headsup (goes both ways). Until a contract is signed you dont even need to reply (again, goes both ways)! But did you notice 90% of the bootlickers highlighted were marked as HR? Shocker...
Ah, the 90 day probation period. We have that in my country too
I don't think Josh should "try to be positive." I think he should CONTINUE to tell the truth about these companies and try to get people to WAKE UP AND ORGANIZE.
Yes, because his work is important. But he also should take time off to destress and do fun things he enjoys because doing what he does is going against a huge toxic work culture established for centuries... and so he needs to take care of himself too. But I hope he continues because it's important.
That woman did exactly what needed to be done. At first I did think that some of them were victim of predatory labor practices and that people put up with it due to necessity, but after watching the comments on linkedin now I see that some of them can and will enjoy taking a full load(a work load that is) directly to the face and still smile and even clap, shocking.
Although I legit rolled around the Earth while laughing at those fictional job titles, I also worried for Josh's blood pressure
I once had a recruiter send me a one line email that said (and I quote) "You're so stupid, you wasted my time" after I rejected their offer. It was literally one single line, no pleasantries, no signature. And yes, I'm from India too.
how is this tolerated? why is there no labor movement in India to fight this crap?
@@jhonshephard921 Because people here have slave mentality and don't know about the law much. Well even if they did the recruiter could just bribe a politician and get their whole killed in an "accident". Cows here live a great life though.
Why are these HR people acting like angry children? Wtf
@@katar9090 Money. They lost a commission, that's why they're acting like spoiled brats
You’re making the world a better place by putting a spotlight on this stuff man, hats off to you. You might not think it’s making a big difference but just a handful of people seeing this video really helps to make issues with employment in these third world countries known.
Great content. I finally feel like I'm not alone.
As an example of a company doing the same thing, my current employment is an emergency fallback because the place I actually wanted to work canceled my hiring DURING ONBOARDING. An HR lady broke up our call and claimed that all hiring had been "postponed". They've never called me back and won't answer my calls.
Ty for making these videos. You really only have to think about yourself because they only think about themselves, too.
Lift people up with truths Josh! Good work for speaking up.
Double thumbs up from me. Preach for Ankita! It's long overdue that companies realize they need to know their role in the world. They don't run shit and should consider themselves fortune that they have employees period. Respect and loyalty is a 2-way street. Enough is enough. This recruiter is such a beta. Oh no, she decided not to work there....go to candidate #2 and move on.
EDIT: you bring me some sanity while I'm being the smooth-brain working 80+ hours a week. Eventually I'll take your messaging to heart and do something about it.
Shout out to both Anita and you for exposing this kind of toxic behavior. It is absolutely not acceptable. I have worked in recruiting before and would never dream of saying stuff like this to an applicant.
Preach Josh, Preach! Amen!!!
You're a good man doing a great work, Joshua. Nothing but utmost respect for you.
I love content like this. It is a positive effect to help employees see gaslighting.
Yay, Anita... you rock!
This IS positive, because you are saving people from future negative experiences and giving them confidence to stand up for themselves when they need to. If someone warns me about a landmine down the road, I don't see that as them being negative about the condition of the road.
Agree with you 100%! This is Grade A LinkedIn Gaslighting.
don’t worry so much about being direct/negative in your wording! the overall is this information is positive, helpful, and empowering. anita deserved this recognition! ❤
Yeah this stuff is like the lowest form of human nature, It's the worst kind of kicking people while they are down and they know it too.
Thanks for making this.
In normal countries; that is a crime.
News Flash:India isn't a normal country.
@@Kevin-cy2dr Oh shut up the guy was fired
@@nou4605 Not because of the threat though?
Joshua. Don't worry about being positive. You are positively ass kicking.
We love it.
Love the energy you've put into the video, and I'm only half way through it ;)
I have refused offers before. I have also accepted offers and then told them i wouldn't be starting after I got a better offer elsewhere. They deny people all the time but whine when it happens the other way around.
Josh you are so entertaining!
1:00 funny the recruiter said Anita went with the best money offer (like a red district woman)
When he literally does the same when they look for the lowest salary they can pay an applicant!!
So satisfying to see recruiters SQUIRM!
This video was posted in perfect timing. I went through a similar issue today with school going to a student union forum and being blocked by them because I reached out for help and support after being discriminated against by school administrators. This is a right on time post.
Joshua....keep doing videos exactly like this. You ARE being positive because you are pointing out abusive behavior that needs to be exposed and extinguished.
Well considering the attitudes towards women in India, that something like that happened in India is no surprise. Though honestly, i find how open they are about the misogyny to be refreshing. Like no surprises in sight.
Firstly, it is disgusting that such an incident happened. I entirely condemn it. This is a classic case of victim blaming. On the other hand it is wrong to generalize that "such attitudes" towards women is rampant in India. Based on what I've seen so far, it is the US that often ranks among the top place when it comes to misogyny, crime cases against women per capita. I don't wish to draw comparisons between India and the US. But these problems are not unique to India. The US is not immune.
@@krishnasiddharth5032in the US, women are encouraged more to speak up for themselves, in India women receive much more repercussions for doing that. You saw how extreme the victim blaming towards this indian woman already is when she dares to speak Up for herself about this recruiter Situation. So of course women in India dare much less to file a lawsuit.That doesn't mean less misogyny etc is happening towards them, it Just means society is punishing them for speaking up
@@ThisAndThat4All Regarding women not being encouraged to speak up, I agree with you. It's true. But I don't agree with the main/starting comment in this thread.
Stories like these make me happy I didn't go into a corporate job. I don't have to deal with recruiters, don't have to make a resume, also don't have to beg for raises, just get paid for my skills and the lack of workers in my profession.
Love how you expose these companies and how you stood up for Anita. Honestly look forward to all your videos.
Love this video!
Those who are attacking her they are friends of the recruiter they work in the same company
Recruiters are a very salty bunch. Got a offer for 20 a hour from one, turned them down because I could do better, and had a job getting 19 a hour already. Get 25 a hour now.
Recruiters , be mad because they dont get paid unless u work
@@absolute3112 they need to pay more then, is just business.
Okay jumping in again. Thank you for posting. Totally appreciate your candor 😎
Good for you exposing this
Ive discovered your channel only now, but boy was I waiting for someone to call these people out. LinkedIn is far off from the "professional networking spirit" and becomes more and more a social media platform for people whose whole self respect comes from their LinkedIn job title.
LinkedIn sounds like Facebook to me. Drama....
Clap👍👏
You be you, Josh! I love it!!
Spot on Josh, its always a one way street with recruiters, companies carry on like the own you, its absolutely Anitas right to highlight this BS narc gaslighting
Being shamed for breaking a social convention, even stupid ones, suck no matter where you're from. That's great that Anita made the best choice for herself and exposed that creeper recruiter 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾She wasn't getting "rewarded" for any "company loyalty" (before she was officially hired!!), guaranteed.
"wtf are you talking about Yogesh?!" got me
Thank you! 🙌🏼✊
Thank you for posting this TH-cam video these things are very much normal in India. It was an Eye opener and this helped me too
"Dileep your account" haha made me laugh
I had a couple of annoying incidents with recruiters latest of them the recruiter that refused the salary I requested because of budget constraints and when I got an offer that agreed to my demands then the budget suddenly increases out of no where to top my new offer !!
but nothing like this lady is dealing with, India have some terrible companies
All companies are terrible big or small no matter
We need that kind of transparency about shit in companies or else...um I mean how else are we going to do company shopping.
First time hearing about company shopping, awesome, love it :D!
Kudos to Anita K.
He preaches the truth. 🔥 🔥 🔥
