I studied every employee of OpenDoor India who was fired recently and saw something very interesting
1. 130 out of the 200 employees are "Operations Associates" or customer support. Their tasks were to call the customers and verify their listings. source: LinkedIn bio of three people who work in the same space. It sort of makes sense that this could be automated by AI.

Opendoor is also hiring an AI Operations Associate in North America, where it explicitly states that it wants to use AI for operations and customer support.

2. 25 people were in accounting support / accountants- their job was to handle payroll and general bookkeeping. This seems bloated for an org like Opendoor. They are now hiring new accountants in North America who can use AI.

3. There only seem to be 25 Engineers in India- large amount of which are Data Engineers, data scientists (8-10 ) and their DE stack seems.... bloated. I found this LinkedIn post where they discuss building migration tools for their CDC infrastructure. DE cuts are probably cost cuts

4. 10 engineers are QA engineers, 10 are analysts

5. The culture of hiring to fire seems prevalent based on their Glassdoor reviews from up to two years ago. The attrition rate was really high in the org anyway.

6. A large amount of operations and customer support people seem to be from the same university in the same city.

7. Overall, this is largely a nothing burger. Most people were leaving anyway. The people who have been fired are not engineers or high-paid employees, from my assumption.

Same story at every underpass. Feel like taking the keys of all those obstructing and ensuring they waste 2 hours

[Vinayak🇮🇳 @vk_bhosale]

Thats how common sense is lost in bengaluru. No one can repair this city unless people change their mindset.

#HyderabadRains

Rain of 4cms in this season, City is on the knees . Unplanned growth + removal of FSI and concentration of companies at just west of Hyderabad. In this same area recently one acre of Govt land was sold for 240 Crores

@halairporttrfps @blrcitytraffic @DCPTrEastBCP @acpwfieldtrf Again parking on the road closer to signal. Luckily vehicle count is less today, but nevertheless this should be restricted.

[Nikhil Pai @Nikhpai]

@halairporttrfps Again vehicles exiting Doddanekkundi r made to wait for unreasonable amnt of time due to manual signalling.
Plus One entire lane is blocked by parked vehicles.
Improve timing!
Enforce no parking and lane discipline

[Nikhil Pai @Nikhpai]

@adihosangadi @SimpleMusi37195 @svembu True. The Mcad vs BurgerKing clash is an epic one that has been going on for decades.

But they have an unlimited budget for their marketing campaigns. Might not be the same for Zoho.

[Nikhil Pai @Nikhpai]

@manoj_mafiosi @blrcitytraffic 100s of two wheelers, and sometimes autos, go wrong way at this junction. Needs strict enforcement for few days by @halairporttrfps . Even electric 2 wheelers go against flow.

[Sridhar Vembu @svembu]

Salesforce is running an ad claiming 40% off to beat Zoho. We have watched this playbook for years where they give deep discounts to get you in, followed by aggressive escalation once you're locked-in.

Before you switch anything, ask them to show you standardised multi-year pricing. If they don't, that's your answer. Enterprise software is a con-game of "discount" bullshit by vendors like Salesforce. Buyer beware!

As for "old CRM", Salesforce is a garbage bin of acquired enterprise software companies over decades, held together with bubble gum and duct tape.

Bengaluru Traffic Police Advisory: "Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre has forecast heavy rainfall in Bengaluru from June 7 to 9, 2026. Citizens are advised to exercise caution while driving through waterlogged areas, avoid unnecessary travel during periods of heavy rain & use BTP ASTraM app and Bengaluru Traffic Police’s official social media handles for real-time traffic updates and important alerts" @blrcitytraffic

@darvasboxtrader What would be the apt time or range to sell CSCO from its current price?

[Ram VamsiKrishna @ramvamsikrishna]

The @naralokesh data centre water debate has everyone arguing past each other.

“Data centres will drain Andhra Pradesh dry. There is no environmental flow after water allocation”

I have seen these wrong claims everywhere this week. I am a water resources engineer from IIT Bombay. I did my master’s thesis on Polavaram and just finished a 29 year daily simulation of the reservoir. Let me show you what the Godavari actually does with its water every year. 🧵 (1/15)

[Nikhil Pai @Nikhpai]

@halairporttrfps @blrcitytraffic @DCPTrEastBCP @acpwfieldtrf Repeat of the same issue again.
Vehicles parked and blocking one lane, while nearing approach to the signal.
Less pile up as it is a Monday. Rest of the week, this would add to the already problematic flow at this signal.
@DCPTrEastBCP pls instruct team to monitor.

[Ragini Pandey @pandeyragini24]

Not getting interviews in 2026? 😔

95% of the time it’s your resume.

Here’s a 0-bullshit thread that actually fixes it and gets you calls.

@prajvalprince @tv9kannada @publictvnews @republic Listen in to the language.
Probably it is the cameras that prevented any physical action or thrashing by the cop.
@CPBlr @Jointcptraffic This is unbecoming of your officer. Please sensitize.

[Nikhil Pai @Nikhpai]

We shouldn't buy gold or go abroad, and conserve fuel, so that the convoys and cavalcades can continue, @PMOIndia ji?
Pls pass orders updating SOPs for all authorities as well.

[Prajval Prince @prajvalprince]

Old Airport Road is already choking under underpass construction. Today, traffic was completely halted for nearly 30 minutes due to the Governor’s movement. A man carrying his pregnant wife was stuck in the gridlock. When will public convenience matter as much as VIP convenience?

[Nikhil Pai @Nikhpai]

Was stuck in the same traffic today. So unnecessary.
Pls relook at your SOPs @TCGEHLOT ji. Minimize disruption to citizens.

@blrcitytraffic pls advise officers to be polite during such situations. It is frustrating for citizens, much more than those one duty.

@ravikeerthi22 Like how citizens must go to court for anything, BTP should levy cases against all engineers who mismanage the roads. Then they can go play court-court.

Filter coffee is THE item that draws me back there every time. Made perfectly, consistently.
