8 emplois à la fois, l'incroyable scandale Soham Parekh !

Hello, my friends. The Soham Parak affair is shaking up the startup world. It has opened a can of worms, a glass box. In fact, it involves a scandal involving people who are engaging in what is known as overemployment. So what is overemployment? It is overwork. In fact, these are people who manage to get hired to work remotely for four, five, six hours a day for companies at the same time. That's the thing. They work for a bunch of companies at the same time. Some of them manage to earn a salary of €3,000 per day. Others earn salaries that exceed a million per year combined. And many of them don't make a dime. They don't work at all. Stay with me. I'm going to tell you this absolutely terrible story. In fact, Mr. Som Barak worked a year ago in a startup, and the CEO of the startup, the founder, discovered that he was also working elsewhere. Well, at the time, he fired him. He fired him because of a conflict of interest, uh, something. We'll talk about all that in a minute. And, uh, he discovered that. He discovered later, a year later, that this guy was still scouring the startup scene and getting recruited by up to h companies at a time. So what did he do? He ended up on Twitter. He denounced him, and that made the rounds. And above all, many companies searched their, their employee lists to see if they had a sham Barak in In fact, many said, yeah, but they work for us too. And many even started sending screenshots of their, of their Zoom meeting. Another one, we see a guy who was there one evening. So what's actually happening? You know, my friends, the recruitment system in companies has become completely inhumane. It's been dehumanized. It's become a kind of big joke, a useless, ineffective, stressful joke for everyone. And in fact, it doesn't even guarantee that companies will get the right people. And there are a lot of people surfing on it. In soram. In Mr. Soram. And just to illustrate, because on Reddit, there's a subreddit frequented by half a million people. I'll give you the link. I assure you, you can spend the evening on it. You'll be. If you don't know about this thing, this phenomenon, you'll be absolutely surprised by the people with very good jobs who make huge sums of money working for several companies at the same time. So there are two categories of these people. So there's a first category who works seriously, like Mr. Sohm. He worked seriously. That means he worked for five companies, eight companies at a Time. And he worked for each one. That means he was satisfying. Which tells us among ourselves that sometimes we discover a little bit of what we call jobs. I happened to be recruited by a company and then I finished my work in 45 minutes. My day's work sometimes took me half an hour, somet sometimes 45 minutes, sometimes 10 minutes. And the rest of the day, what do I do? Well, the rest of the day I kill time. I kill time. And yet when we are recruited, what are we told? Oh yes, here it's very fast, we are very busy, there are lots of things going on. We want people who give their all and so on. Once you are in there, you see that, well, well, it's dead. There is nothing to do. So in 30 minutes you finish your work. You see, if you want to work 8 hours, you can sign contracts elsewhere. You see, that's what I did tonight. So there's another category, the other category, they're not there to deliver work at all. They don't care about that. What they do is use AI to get recruited. What does that mean? Recruitment meetings, interviews are done via Zoom. So the guy is there. There are three or four people with him on Zoom, and they're going to ask him questions, typically engineering questions, development questions, things like that. They ask him and they actually install an AI that will tell him. What will he do? They'll install an AI that listens to the meeting and gives him answers in real time. So in reality, Leah is watching his screen. He's sharing his screen with Leah. So the recruiter doesn't see all this. There's no way for the recruiter to know. But in reality, on the candidate's side, Nia is installed. CIA is able to hear the exchanges, but also to read the screen. And in fact, for example, the recruiter will say, here, I'm going to give you a problem on the screen here, look, here's the situation. How do you see yourself? Uh, how are you going to get out of it from there? And Leah will superimpose like a teleprompter, giving the answer to the candidate. So the candidate looks, pretending to think, oh yes, that's a very interesting question that you're asking there. So I would say personally and there has already provided the answer and the recruiters are wow, impressed. In reality, it's 100% driven by the answers. So once they sign, of course, these are people who don't have the skills for the job they're applying for, who are being interviewed. So once they get hired, their goal is not to last, to deliver work or to last. They know that if you look at edit, many know that they are going to get fired. It depends. It depends on the company, between one month to three months, because they do nothing, absolutely nothing. They arrive in the morning, they find accommodation, they are in the chat. Hello, good morning. They send an email from time to time, trying to last some even outsource tasks, some when they want to last a little longer, they outsource tasks to external contractors who will pay peanuts. Write me this code, write me that, write me this presentation, finish this Excel. So they give the information to people and these people do the work for them. There is a market. There is a market for that. This story is really starting to become a joke. And actually, look, just before continuing, uh, if you have five or six jobs that you're doing at the same time, you don't need this. But if you're looking for just one job and you're struggling, ah, contact the Killoos Channel partner. They're based in France. I've sent a lot of people to them and people are very happy because they literally support you in your job search. They also support people who want to change jobs. You could potentially have a job, but you want to change. But you're a bit rusty when it comes to interviews. You don't know what to do with all that. They can help you under certain conditions. It's supported by France Travail. I'll put the link in the pinned comment in the description of the video. I'm in direct contact with them. If you have any problems, contact me directly. So let's get back to the story. I was saying that what's extraordinary about this RAM is that he managed to get several jobs in a context of economic crisis where people, as I was telling you a moment ago, have trouble finding a single one. He found eight. So I looked at his approach, his technique, and he sent an email, sent his cv. He sent a cover letter, basically to introduce himself. There are a lot of people who say, yeah, but the COVID letter makes no sense. No, no, the COVID letter makes sense. Call it what you want. If you send your CV to a recruiter or a company boss to get hired, what do you say? What do you say? Are you going to tell them? CV attached? No, you have to introduce yourself. You have to include a few lines. These lines are called the COVID letter. Call them what you want, or the introductory email or the COVID email or the COVID letter. You have to have a speech to introduce yourself and also introduce yourself verbally. Because very often interviews can start like this. I've seen a lot of people, I don't do it when I give interviews, but there are people who start interviews like this. So you arrive. Hello. There you go. Can you introduce yourself? Because I'll give you two or three minutes. You can just introduce yourself, summarize your background for us, and then if you haven't prepared your speech to speak to, highlight your skills, your motivation, the most important points of your background. While you're going to say anything, you're going to hesitate. All that. And later, when you leave, you'll regret not having mentioned such and such experience because you didn't think of it when you were surprised by the question. That's all. Okay, so here's what he did. He sent the email. So he sent the email. Okay, he wrote the email, giving his skills and in particular references. I work for such and such a company. So he very quickly gave the names of companies that are in the same field. These are companies that are more into AI, right? They are startups. Today, not many startups are doing AI. But what I found strong, what I found interesting in his email is that he doesn't start like that. He has the email, says hello, introduces himself with his skills, his qualities, where he worked and all that. But be careful, this is not the beginning of the email, where he worked and all that. But be careful, this is not the beginning of the email. Above the email, he puts three lines there. No hello or anything. There is. What is it that M too long to long read too long. So TL Dr. He puts the four letters TL Dr. It means it's too long. I haven't read it. We usually respond to a text that is too long. If someone sends us an email that sounds like a Zola novel, if we're in a hurry, we can just reply with these four letters. It means, listen, you, your email is too long. I haven't read it. So what does he do? He puts three lines above the email, explaining by giving a very blunt summary of his email. So it starts with these three lines. There you go. He says, my name is Sorem. I don't know. He's throwing out something kind of weird, huh? But it works. It works. Something like, I don't know. I don't know how to dance. I. I don't have any hobbies, I don't do any sports. But I can only do one thing in life. I know how to elaborate. I'm very good at developing. In fact, he says I'm bad at everything. In my life. But I'm good at one thing, developing, coding. And I want to participate in projects that I can take from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 100, whatever that means. Right? He's ready to work on projects no matter what stage they're at. There you have it. Those first three lines and then a space. Hello, my name is. And then he'll introduce himself properly and everything and elaborate. Do you know what I mean? So with this email, which seems quite strange, he managed to attract the attention of a lot of people. And I can tell you that if I had to look for a job tomorrow, I would use this form because it clearly works. It clearly works. So there you have it. Now there was a story. There were people who said it wasn't ethical. Okay, let's be clear. These people who get recruited in several places at the same time without the intention of doing any work, just the intention of taking money and getting fired, that's unethical. I agree. I don't think it's ethically defensible. I don't. I don't. I agree. Huh? I agree. It's. It's not. Ethically, it's not monstrous either. Okay? Huh? It's not a crime against humanity. But at the same time, ethically, even if it's not theft or fraud, there would still be a relationship. That's it. Now, people who really work for five companies and who give satisfaction in each one, and who deliver what they ask for, I don't see the problem. Personally, I don't see the problem. Okay, take, I don't know, Elon Musk. Elon Musk, Is he involved in how many startups he's the boss of how many companies he is the boss or has some title or another in a bunch of established companies and startups, why would that be an ethical problem for him? And look, many big company bosses are on the board of this one. They are the right hand man of that one, the advisor of that one, and so on. Why? Why would there be a rule for them, a rule for us? Why would there be ethics for the privileged and ethics for those who are struggling? Okay, no, no. As long as he has provided work and the companies were satisfied, he has done nothing for anyone. And of course he has the right to maximize the potential of his knowledge. If he arrives at a company and that company puts him in an office and he sees that he arrives at 9am and at 10am he has finished his work for the day, what is he going to do? He's going to read Wikipedia. He's going to play online titleists. I mean, at some point the guy is at the peak of his career, of his skills. Well, that's it. He's going to ask for work elsewhere. Well, that's it. He's going to ask for work elsewhere. But honestly, that's. Look at the link I'm giving you so that you can use it. Go to their place on my behalf. You know, I'm very close to them. Otherwise I'll also give you the link in the description to go see the overemployment report. What you read there is quite scary. Well, it's not scary. It made me laugh more than anything else, you know, it's not scary at all. Okay. Now if you prefer to talk to me directly, I'll also put my calendar so that you can book a session for whatever you want. And you look behind me. The environment has changed a little bit because I've changed countries, I've changed continents, I've even changed hemispheres. From now on, I'm going to live in Mauritius. I've only been here for a few days. It's winter here. Okay, so it's a bit chilly outside. 20 degrees Celsius, which is spring in the UK. That's it, my friends, thanks for following along so far and I'll see you in the next one.
