Sounds like someone who got lowballed, said "no thank you", and a CEO with a chip on their shoulder got butthurt.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

doxing them is insane
Not surprising for entitled CEOs, though.
One might even call it "unprofessional."
Well he did include a disclaimer about his unprofessional behaviour he's posting.
It ain't really doxxing though. I personally know 3 people with name Yash Gupta. There are soooooo many people out here man. And worse of all, these CEOs will get away with it because people are ready to code for 20k Indian rupees, (around 250 dollars) a month. It's crazy out here.
He gave his name, job title, and the company he works for. That seems like enough to be doxxing.

Bruh. They @'d his place of employment. They're trying to get him fired and blacklisted.
This. This is the real issue here. I doubt his current (I assume - this could also be an old screenshot) employer is going to mind too much his "money-driven mindset" and all that other stuff (I mean - they do know him far longer than Dr. Kashyap does), but they are going to be very interested in the very fact that he was interviewing with another company.

"CEO"
On his companies website his email is a Gmail account and he couldn't even get his own name as the email address.
Small fish in a puddle.

A CEO accusing someone else of having a money driven mindset sure is something.
It's a job, not a fucking relationship, what other kind of mindset are you supposed to have?
These people are fucking delusional

All 3 companies he has “founded” are only 7 months old. Prior to that he has been mostly a scrum master and business analyst. He has no people management experience, no experience in establishing and executing strategies, and this post illustrates all of these short comings.
This isn’t about this company, but this post just gave me PTSD from a recent interview process.
“Soo, we can’t offer you a salary even though our job listing said we would. But you’ll get 5% stake in our startup, which I’m sure will do great even though I’m using my parents money and have zero business experience! Also no vacation, 60 hour work weeks, oh and no health insurance either. We’re a small business trying to make it work!”
Legitimately had this experience after a fucking 5-stage interview process for some small startup, promising a “competitive compensation package”. I guess I should’ve been more assertive in asking their salary range when they kept giving me vague hints at a bullshit compensation.
Waste of fucking time and money. I could tell they were annoyed that I didn’t treat them as if they were Gods offering me a place in eternal bliss. I said “So you guys can’t offer me an actual salary?” and they had the audacity to come back with “well not everything is about money”…says the dude whose parents gave him $1.5 million seed money to start his own little “marketing” company.
When I declined the offer, they quipped with “Thank you for taking 8 hours of our valuable time to get to learn about the company and drink our coffee”. They also said they would reimburse my parking (city parking) to make the interviews. That never happened. Down about $150 and 8 hours. Did they expect me to fall for some sort of sunk-cost fallacy?
The ego and audacity some of these people have astonishes me. They must be so fucking miserable on the inside.
This is exactly the kind of behavior that modern capitalism produces: money, power, and growth at any cost. Other humans are no longer people or equals, they are tools. Morals and ethics must be left behind to "succeed".

Probably not even a real doctor either.
It is all suspect. He got his degree in 2016, Masters in 2015, Phd in 2020. The Yatiken he associates himself with on his linked in was started in 2014 so he is not the founder of that Yatiken. There is another Yatiken company registered in 2020 that lists him but amusingly has him no longer being a manager in 2021.

I can't think of a faster way to make me not want to work for you than for you to post details about my name, current work, and our interview.

The "unprofessional conduct" that he's alerting us to is his own behavior, right?
I read that and thought, "Whatever is coming is probably a huge breach of business etiquette." And I was right.
Edited to add: If the candidate's behavior in the interview was so egregious, why would you even waste your time with follow-up calls? It sounds like they wanted to hire the guy, but he wasn't interested in working for them after the interview. Sour grapes, anyone?
I would guess the "money-driven mindset" had a lot to do with it. The interview went well, he was a good fit, but they didn't offer him enough. With some back and forth on compensation souring communications enough to make the owner butt hurt enough to post this.

Holy hell they're even astroturfing their thread. Report for harassment, it includes doxxing someone.
I reported for harassing, it's the closest things to doxxing I could find

It would only be more obvious if they used sock puppets, controlled by the CEO as he tries to use different voices for each one.
One of the bots even copy-pasted the CEO's words as if they were their own.

I reported this post for harassment. LinkedIn said "nope this is fine":
This is pretty fucking egregious. I don't care if the candidate was wildly unprofessional or not, you don't fucking drop names like this publicly.
If I was that candidate I'd be calling lawyers right about now.
Also, if you reported it, they don't let you see it afterwards, even if they refuse to take it down. So it may look like they've taken action when all they've done is make it sorta look like they did, just to you.
You didn’t think LinkedIn was doing anything wrong when they asked people to put up pictures of themselves? You didn’t catch on that LinkedIn is the biggest facilitator of workplace discrimination?

He might have wanted to run this by an HR person before posting. Asshat is definitely getting sued for this.
The company looks to be from India so he most probably isn't getting sued, sadly.
Big "you can't quit, because you're fired" energy.
I'm sure people will be lining up to work for you, now!

Yep, his post is pretty unprofessional.
I like how they say it's a mutual endeavor and yet they obviously wasted this applicant's time.
Good on Gupta for ghosting them.
Don't everyone book an appointment all at once, o.k.
Yeah, let's allow asshole C level dicks to publicly shame employees now, without any shred of evidence, or anyway to defend yourself. What could possibly go wrong?
Not even an employee, just an interviewee.
Anybody else feel extra bothered by his use of "professional calibration" like workers are just some machine?

I imagine if he's money driven he'll sue their asses off for defamation and get a new car.

Why did you not censor the guys name??? All you're doing is hurting them more by making this post.

Not sure what they offered him but they probably handed him a settlement
Unprofessionalism is maybe the least significant critique you could receive. In fact it's a good thing, assuming you're actually doing your job reliably and everybody is, like, safe around you. That's all that matters.
I don't know anything about this company, but in a lot of this would legally be considered libel and they could get sued.
Also this is a dumb thing to do. If I saw this I would not apply to this company.
I've interviewed a lot of people for jobs, I've seen no-shows and stuff like that. When that happens you simply remove them from your pipeline and move on.
