If you’ve worked for one—you’re not crazy.
You’re just caught in chaos.

No raise didn’t break them.
The BS did.

You said: “There’s no budget.”
They saw: A new CXO, and someone else’s 50% hike and a linkedin post on growth story

People don’t leave because it’s hard.
They leave when it’s shady

If you can’t raise salaries—raise honesty.

Loud work gets credit. Quiet work gets ignored.
—Until the quiet ones leave, and you realize they built everything.

Great work > Loud work
Visibility ≠ Value

Companies: Stop rewarding the noise.
Start recognizing the builders.

#VisibilityTrap #QuietBuilders #Culture

[Purva Gera @PurvaGera]

Most Companies treat exits like betrayals.
Silence. Distance. Gossip.

People notice how you treat leavers.
The ones who stayed? They’re watching too.

Culture is the respect that lingers after the paycheck stops.

Say goodbye like a grown-up company. Not a spiteful ex.

The real culture check?

What happens when a junior screws up.

When there’s:
– A missed deadline
– A broken deployment
– A tone-deaf Slack

What happens next?
Blame? Silence? Shame?
Or support + learning?

Culture - It’s not what you preach
It’s what people feel in crisis.

💬 Hard truth:

If you feel the shift...
You're already halfway out.
👂 Silence is the signal.

🚀 Be undeniable—before you become invisible.

🙂 6. The Nice Underperformer
Everyone loves them.
But nothing lands on time—or right.
The A-players are cleaning up quietly.
🛠️ Fix it: Kind ≠ Competent.
Culture fit ≠ Value add.

🚫 You Hired Smart People. Stop Interrupting Them.
Because ‘Always Online’ ≠ Always Effective.
Let’s talk async culture (aka how top 1% teams actually win):

[Purva Gera @PurvaGera]

Still bragging that your team is “always available”?
You’re just bragging about broken focus.

The future?
It’s asynchronous & autonomous by design.
