The Spin

Narrative A

Parekh's actions represent a clear breach of trust and professional ethics that undermines the entire employment relationship. When companies hire someone full-time, they expect dedication and loyalty, not someone secretly dividing their attention among multiple employers while collecting multiple salaries under false pretenses.

Narrative B

This whole situation exposes how broken startup hiring has become. Companies are so desperate to find talent that they often skip basic due diligence and fall for polished interview performances. The remote work boom made it ridiculously easy for someone to game the system, and frankly, these startups must take responsibility for not doing proper background checks.

Narrative C

Soham was working 140-hour weeks just to stay afloat, and people act like that’s a crime. Founders juggle multiple companies and get praised — he does it to survive and gets blacklisted. Now he’s signed on as founding engineer at one startup and isn’t backing down. He’s clearly a genius and an extremely talented guy. Let the man work.
