Is it funny or just plain sexist? His LinkedIn post, made by an engineer looking for a “younger wife” with preference for someone with “no experience,” was flooded with mixed reactions. The company promised that those with “experience” would be rehired. Salaries are kept “secret” and the “job” requires candidates to have certain qualifications, including the special skill of being able to cook “spicy biryani” at night for the “employer.” I was required to be there. The recruitment process has three stages, with the final stage being a face-to-face meeting.
At first glance, this post could cause outrage that blames women, and that's the reason behind the disclaimer: “This post is just a funny post and is only used to make people laugh.” It may be.
However, not everyone found it funny, and some even pointed out that this could have a negative impact on the person's job search. The official pointed out that engineer Jitendra Singh could even be fired or face complaints under POSH and sexual harassment laws in his current organization. Some even wondered how this type of content is allowed on this platform.
“Take this seriously. Aside from being extremely outdated (100 years?), posts like this are bad for your job search. If you behave like this in the workplace, you'll either get fired or have a P.O.S.H. could be the subject of complaints. To all of you wondering why I don't do it. I don't think it's just funny, the reason is simple, it's not,” one person commented.
Another person joked about the possibility that LinkedIn could soon turn into a corporate matrimonial site, writing, “If this post comes, the platform will soon turn into a corporate matrimonial site. When it comes to finding a job, your partner will be with you.” You will find it…” .🤣🤣🤣 Both are hard to find now😛”
One commenter said the post sparked a meme fest mocking Indians abroad and demanded its removal. He said, “I came here from a meme page. Hey, they're making fun of Indians because of your post. Please delete it.” According to their profile on the platform, the commenter works in Dubai.
However, some participants expressed “interest” in the opening. Some people wonder if very few people are asking questions like, “How many interviews will there be, is there a budget for the position, and is there a “trial period''?
However, as the Uniform Civil Code is being debated and marriage rules are in the spotlight, some may wonder whether employers already have a “senior wife.” In that case, there may be several more stages of adoption. But in the end, this was one comment that caught our attention and we all agreed: “Ladki dhundne ka tareeka thoda Casual hai bhai.”
