It’s quite basic for people with longer work experience to expect a higher salary. That’s how corporate growth, hierarchy and everything else work- in fact. However, despite it sounding ‘obvious’, not everyone is privileged enough to earn ‘better’- just because of their piling work experience in terms of years. The internet was reminded of the same through a LinkedIn job-posting, which had a rather eye-raising offer for its candidates. Taking it to social media, a man shared a screenshot of the LinkedIn post. As seen in the post, the role was for ‘Customer Support Representative’. Apart from the working hours being ‘10 hours per day’, and ‘6 days per week’- what grabbed the most attention was the pay offered for candidates with ‘3 years of experience’; Rs 2.5 LPA– Rs 20,000 in hand.
The post went viral in an instant, leaving netizens triggered. Most called out the company for underpaying its employees, while some pointed out how the role, anyway, couldn’t have attained much growth.

Check out the viral post:
“Exploitation at its peak! 3 years exp and 2.5 LPA,” the post read.
“How is anyone in this country sustaining themselves? I wanna lie down, cry, and just die,” the post read.
The post was shared on Reddit, by the handle ‘1PerpetuallyAnxious’. The post was shared yesterday and pulled many reactions.
Here’s how the internet reacted:
“In this country the dead are considered more lucky than alive,” a user read. “60 hours/week and that’s just what’s advertised Damn,” added a second person in the comment section. “This is just so sad,” commented the next.
“Atleast they are paying 2.5, otherwise there are people who pay a stipend of 10k, that’s it,” wrote a fourth person. “What do you expect from a call centre job? I always thought these call centre jobs are like temporary jobs until you get a decent job,” added another user.
“This is literally pathetic, 6-7years of experience then the budget is 7-8LPA,” added another person. “Many people would kill to get paid 20-25k per month even with 2 years experience,” wrote the next person.
