Staying at a 4-star hotel in Munich. Ordered a pizza at the restaurant. Asked if they could give us an extra plate. The waiting staff responded with "One pizza, one plate." Extremely weird and rude. It's evident that they hate anyone who's not white.





Wow ! Before Laying Off 70 Employees, This CEO Personally Found Them New Jobs. This is the unheard story of Harsh Pokharna who turned a painful layoff into a masterclass in human leadership. When Bengaluru-based OkCredit had to lay off 70 employees due to budget constraints, Harsh did something most leaders don't. He took full responsibility and ensured no one was left behind. Instead of abrupt goodbyes, he and his team spoke to each employee personally, offered a 3-month notice period, and actively supported them with job referrals, introductions, and leads. The result? 67 out of 70 employees were placed before their notice period ended. The remaining 3 were given two months' extra salary as support. He didn’t pass the blame. He did the opposite of what most founders do. He spoke to every employee. One-on-one. And he said what most bosses are afraid to utter: “We made a mistake. I’m sorry.” And Harsh didn’t stop there. He personally reached out to his network to help each laid-off employee find a new job. He didn’t just offer a “placement cell.” He made introductions himself. Within days, LinkedIn was flooded with support for ex-OkCredit staff. Bookmark and retweet to revisit later and Follow @stockifi_Invest for more such threads. Harsh Pokharna isn’t the only one who’s had to let people go. But here’s why this story stands out: It shows layoffs don’t have to be brutal. They don’t have to be cowardly. They don’t have to be corporate. They can be human. In a time when trust in founders is at an all-time low… This story is a reminder. Startups are built on people. And the way you treat them when they leave… says more than how you celebrated them when they joined. It’s not just about money. It’s about dignity. And Harsh Pokharna gave them that. Leadership isn’t tested in growth. It’s revealed in crisis. And in a sea of press releases and PR stunts… Harsh Pokharna chose the harder path: The honest one. Let this be the new startup standard. If this changed the way you think about leadership, bookmark this thread. And retweet it to make sure more founders learn this lesson. The layoffs may have been inevitable. But the empathy? That was a choice. While most layoffs today are abrupt and unsupported, this CEO rewrote the script - showing that real leadership means balancing tough decisions with humanity.
