'Sorted life,' 'no baggage': Mumbai firm's bizarre requirements for employees
A Reddit post highlighting a job vacancy at a company based in Mumbai has stirred up controversy due to its unusual requirement for employees. The advertisement says the company is seeking a Senior Executive in Talent Acquisition for its Navi Mumbai office and specifies that candidates should have a "sorted personal life with no baggage."
Job listing details and public response
The job listing, originally posted on Naukri.com, offers a salary package between ₹2.75 lakh and ₹3.75 lakh per annum. It was later shared on the Reddit forum "Recruiting Hell." This controversy coincides with growing concerns over toxic work environments in India, following the tragic death of a 26-year-old Ernst & Young employee in Pune due to alleged work pressure.
Reddit users express concerns over job requirement
Expressing their concerns over the job requirement, one user commented, "Employers need to be legally forced to treat employees with basic respect." Another drew parallels with Japan's work culture, stating, "India, so not surprised. The professional work/life imbalance over there is reaching Japan levels." Some found humor in the situation, questioning how such a personal aspect could be measured during an interview process.
