@ Rahmat Wibowo mm aw | was wrongfully terminated. Twice. By Dinda Rhapsodya from Liven and Dian Hamama from Amazon Web Services (AWS) Not for poor performance. Not for policy violations. But because | was visible. Because | was growing. Because someone decided a rising Indonesian professional was a threat, not an asset. That is crab mentality at work. “Mental kepiting” is not just a phrase in Indonesia. It is a documented organizational phenomenon. ‘A 2025 study from Bandung City identified three structural roots: individual insecurity, toxic social dynamics, and failed organizational leadership. A separate Papua study found that targets experience isolation, mistrust, and alienation. These are not abstract outcomes. These are real careers destroyed. Here is how it operates inside corporations: Performance narratives get distorted ("you just got lucky") Information is gatekept to slow your progress Formal HR and performance processes get weaponized against you Manufactured consensus replaces objective evaluation HRBP functions get captured by the very managers being complained about The foreign manager dimension makes it worse. No shared community. No social accountability. The cost of wrongful conduct is effectively zero. But here is what most people do not know: Indonesian labor law explicitly prohibits termination based on discrimination. You have the right to contest. You have the right to the Industrial Relations Court. Documentation is your armor. The crab bucket is real. Ithas no borders. It operates in the most sophisticated multinational corporations on earth. But it is not permanent. #Mentalkepiting #CrabMentality #Indonesia #WorkplaceCulture #HRIndonesia #LaborLaw #ProfessionalGrowth #infraloka #Leadership #OrganizationalPsychology #Ketenagakerjaanindonesi #Techindonesia #CareerDevelopment #WorkplaceJustice #RahmatWibowo
