A former employee couldn’t help but chuckle when he stumbled upon a job listing posted by his previous employer. Amused by its contents, he shared a screenshot on the popular subreddit Indian Workplace, titling the post, "My ex-company is hiring and I can't stop laughing looking at the delusional JD.." The post quickly gained traction online, racking up over 621 upvotes and sparking a flurry of reactions.
According to the listing, the organization was on the lookout for a human resources executive with at least a year of hands-on experience in recruitment processes. Interestingly, candidates were expected to have their own laptop and a reliable internet connection, indicating a remote or hybrid work setup.
The responsibilities, however, seemed to align more with a mid-level leadership role. The hired professional would be tasked with forming and supervising a recruitment team. Additional duties included providing guidance and coaching to both novice and seasoned staff members, enhancing the overall performance of the team, and consistently meeting hiring targets across all levels.
Despite the long list of responsibilities and expectations, the compensation being offered was surprisingly low—just ₹10,000 per month. The advertisement also made mention of a "lucrative incentive," yet failed to offer any clarification on the nature or structure of this additional pay. This vague promise added to the disbelief among viewers.
Reactions from Reddit users were swift and sardonic. One user sarcastically exclaimed, “Lucrative incentive? Wow! Don’t waste another second—apply now!” Another poked fun at the unclear job description, saying, “Can someone explain what ‘handholding’ even means? LMAO!”
Commenters also pointed out how poorly the salary measured up against basic market standards. One user remarked that even tradespeople earn better wages, stating, “A plumber makes more than this—and he doesn’t need a laptop!”
Another user criticized the job’s compensation from a legal standpoint, noting that the pay didn’t even align with the baseline wage set for unskilled labor in India. “The minimum wage in India is close to ₹20,000 a month. This is half of that!” they wrote in disbelief.
Adding a more personal touch, one Redditor broke down how even domestic help earns significantly more per hour. “Let’s do the math: 336 hours per month for ₹10,000 equals roughly ₹30 per hour. My maid makes ₹4,000 a month for just 13 hours of work—her hourly rate comes out to ₹307. That means she earns ten times more than this ‘experienced HR professional’,” they concluded, highlighting the absurdity of the offer.
