Billionaire told entrepreneur hire for sleep not salary and one mistake cost her Rs 2 lakh monthly

Entrepreneur Mahima Jalan says a billionaire client rewired her hiring philosophy: don’t hire “for salary,” hire for “sleep.” The advice reflects how a bad employee creates invisible stress for founders, especially in relationship-driven businesses where trust is slow to earn and easy to erode.

Ex Amazon VP explains why bad bosses often survive and how complaints can backfire on you

Ex Amazon VP explains why bad bosses often survive and how complaints can backfire on you

Former Amazon VP Ethan Evans says companies don’t fire bad managers because leadership incentives discourage intervention.

The result: toxic leadership can persist, and even genuine complaints may be reframed against the person raising them.
