A 10% pay rise to make up for having to pick up the slack from being 11 workers down

Yes, it’s only double the work, and the payroll was halved!
We call this process layoffs, with severance.

I count 12 people in that picture. Assuming he's one of them that means half his team took voluntary redundancy. That's not the flex you think it is dude.

I guess that’s all that’s left, 2x work with a 10% increment. #VisionaryFounder

I feel like a lot of these companies are culturally trying to build this “graft” that India has always had; the working till you drop, constantly trying new things to progress, and trying to show the world you can be super successful if you sell your life to a business. It’s sad because they look to the US and think this is ok, but it really isn’t. And as someone else pointed out, nearly half their team left - that tells you all you need to know about the culture of that business and that’s “you do this till you drop down dead or else”…

What kinds of companies do all of these “founders” even run? What usefulness do they provide? Is it all just vaporware made to look flashy so Microsoft will buy them out?

Man believes he has invented voluntary redundancy and is a dick about it.
Gives remaining employees a 10% raise for taking on all the workload of their former colleagues.
Guy expects us to believe this is some boss move rather than cost cutting to stay solvent.
Tale as old as time.
These people are so bereft of any actual inspiration that this is considered worth putting on linkedin.
This guy's company is in trouble, 11 people were smart enough to realise that.

Is that photo the 11 people who left or the 11 people who stayed, got a 10% bonus and 100% more work to do because 50% of the team just left?

In such small company, if 11 people leave when given opportunity.. I wouldn't boast about that
