LinkedIn Viral Post: At a time when workplace culture is under the spotlight, a Goa-based startup founder is being praised for standing up for his team. Jatin Saini shared a real incident on LinkedIn that’s now going viral, for all the right reasons. He had recently hired a senior professional, but within just a few days, he realised something was off. During a conversation, he overheard the new employee rudely snapping at as junior teammate, saying, “Did you leave your brain at home? If this is the best you can do, you should look for a new job. Bring your brain tomorrow, or don’t bother coming.”

Shocked by the disrespect, Saini immediately confronted the new hire. But instead of understanding the mistake, the person replied confidently, “That’s how you build strong teams.” That was the last straw. Saini decided to end the association then and there. In his words, “I hired someone on Monday and fired them on Friday. Not my proudest moment. Not the easiest conversation either.”

He wrapped up his post with a clear message: “Because we want to build personal brands without breaking people.” The story is now inspiring many with its bold stand, proving that no matter how senior someone is, there’s no place for disrespect in the workplace.

' A bad fit doesn't mean the person isn't good, it just means their not right for you," a user wrote. "Nobody has the right to strip someone of their dignity. Utterly toxic behavior. 10/10 for your decisive action, you saved yourself and the team," a second user added. "Empathy, proper feedback is very necessary to share as a leader. And there are always better ways to communicate if someone is not doing good. You can just spoil someone's whole confidence to do better when you make comments like that," added another user.

"I feel like you could have uncovered that in the interview process by bringing in people who would be his peers or report to him. Also, how many references do you connect with?

If more organizations adopt this kind of culture, I believe people will be motivated to put their heart and soul into their work. More Leaders need to see this post!" added another user.
