2. Think about the following questions:
Do you prefer a low-intensity, comfortable job where you aim for average or good performance?
Are you generally happy with a work output that’s not bad, but isn’t exceptional?
Do you avoid discussing true but uncomfortable topics?
If your best friend at work does a bad job, can you tell him/her that the work was terrible?
Would you be unwilling to put in extra effort beyond the usual expectations from your job?
If your favorite TV show is on while there’s work that will take more than the usual office hours, what would you do?
Do you believe that a small team can achieve only small results?
What’s your answer to this question: “what’s the biggest thing a 10 people team can achieve”?

3. If you answered “yes” to any
of the questions
Then Wingify is probably not for you
But, read on..

4. There’s nothing wrong with..
Aiming for an OK or good
performance
Happiness requires being okay with
whatever the outcome is
Sugarcoating or avoiding
true-but-uncomfortable topics
You will make yourself and others unhappy
if you bring up uncomfortable topics
Not willing to put in extra
effort
Work-life balance is a good ideal
Expecting big results only from big
effort / resources / people
TCS has more than 100,000 employees and
that’s why they are a $60Bn company

6. However, that’s not how
Wingify operates
Which means that your career growth will only be rapid at Wingify,
if you share our values and work ethics

8. We want to be the most admired
company to come out of India,
and in top 5 globally
And we want to make a
billion dollars along the way
www.wingify.com
10. And that requires hiring people who..
Believe in only being EXCEPTIONAL,
and not being satisfied with just good
or average
Believe in TRUTH, no matter if those
are comfortable or uncomfortable
truths
Believe that HARD WORK leads to a
better satisfaction in life as compared to
taking-it-easy
Believe that given the right LEVERAGE,
a single person can move the world

11. Do you relate to any of these principles?
Exceptional work >> good work
Truth >> happiness
Hard work >> chilling-out
A single passionate person >> 100 uninspired individuals

a “yes”
You’ll find yourself at home at Wingify
