ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನ ಪ್ರಮುಖ ಸ್ಟಾರ್ಟ್ಅಪ್ನ ಯುವಕನೊಬ್ಬ ಇಂದು ರಾತ್ರಿ ಪಾರ್ಟಿ ಮಾಡಿ ಕಂಠಪೂರ್ತಿ ಕುಡಿದು ಬಿದ್ದಿದ್ದಾನೆ. ಉಸಿರುಗಟ್ಟಿಸುವ ಸ್ಥಿತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಆತನನ್ನು ನೋಡಿ. ಅವನ ತಂಡವು ಪಾರ್ಟಿ ಮುಗಿಸಿ ಎನ್ಜಾಯ್ ಮಾಡಿ ಬಿಟ್ಟು ಹೋಗಿದೆ. ಈತ ಏಕಾಂಗಿಯಾಗಿ ಬಾರ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಬಿದ್ದಿದ್ದಾನೆ. ಈ ರೀತಿ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡು ಜೀವನ ಏಕೆ ಹಾಳು ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತೀರಿ ಎಂದು ಅವರು ಪ್ರಶ್ನಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
ನಂತರದ ಟ್ವೀಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ, ಅವರು ಸ್ಟಾರ್ಟಪ್ ಸಂಸ್ಥಾಪಕರಿಗೂ ಸಂದೇಶವನ್ನು ಕಳುಹಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ನಿಮ್ಮ ಸಿಬ್ಬಂದಿಯನ್ನು ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ ನೋಡಿಕೊಂಡರೆ ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದು ಎಂದು ಅವರು ಹೇಳಿದ್ದು, ಇದರ ಪರ-ವಿರೋಧ ನಿಲುವು ವ್ಯಕ್ತವಾಗಿದೆ.
Reminder to the "work hard, party harder" startup founders out there: no party is worth losing an employee.
Spotted a young man from a prominent Bengaluru startup choking on his own vomit tonight, face up, alone in a bar, while his team partied. pic.twitter.com/Q0yu09BNV5

Was able to find team members who were sober and responsible enough to realise he was blackout drunk and likely had alcohol poisoning.
Moral of the story for founders: always send a supervisor who won't be drinking, to keep an eye on the group and make sure everyone is safe! pic.twitter.com/QCMGUADmB1

For anyone doubting whether people actually die from alcohol poisoning or from asphyxiation caused by blocked airway after passing out, see this reply: https://t.co/BUTFMcztnx

The attitude was, "Bro, what a party animal, he's wasted!"
By the time I had walked back up the stairs to my table, they had moved him to a more secluded spot, away from the dance floor. He was puking again.
Ran back downstairs and explained the severity of the situation. pic.twitter.com/7mZNAOnBPR

Was sitting on an upper floor with my wife when I noticed him convulsing. Rushed down to the dance floor. Luckily he had already fallen off the couch and was breathing again. Called some of his team to take care of him and said, "Someone needs to keep an eye on him at all times." pic.twitter.com/rkUDpPVifl
