A Mumbai-based It company’s job posting is going viral due to one unusual requirement that has sparked discussions on social media. The company, based in Navi Mumbai, is looking for a Talent Acquisition Executive in its BPO division. While most of the listed qualifications appear standard for the industry, one particular line has caught the internet’s attention: "Personal life should be sorted with no baggage.
" This last requirement, shared on Naukri.com, quickly made its way to a popular Reddit forum, where it was met with a wave of backlash and criticism. Many users found the implication of needing a "sorted" personal life invasive and reflective of the growing culture of work dominating personal time.
Netizens React to the Job Posting The job posting’s requirement for a problem-free personal life drew widespread criticism, with many netizens pointing out the increasing intrusion of employers into employees’ private lives. One user remarked, “India, so not surprised. The professional work/life imbalance over there is reaching Japan levels.
” Another commenter humorously questioned how a company would even measure something as subjective as personal baggage, saying, “That’s actually kind of hilarious, how on earth would they even measure that?!” A screenshot of the Reddit forum where the job advertisement of the IT company was shared Other users continued the sarcastic tone, with one remarking, “Sorry, but we’ve decided not to move further with your candidacy, one of the interviewers sensed some unresolved trauma.” Another chimed in, “Can’t apply for that one. Personal life is never sorted.
