Pune Company Viral Post: Imagine applying for a job and being told upfront: “You must work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week—with no excuses.” Sounds unreal? Well, that’s exactly what a Pune-based company asked in its hiring form, and now, the internet is furious. At a time when the world is moving towards shorter work weeks and better work-life balance, this company’s bold question has sparked serious debate online. The form, shared by a LinkedIn user and later posted on Reddit, asked candidates if they’re okay with a 72-hour workweek, calling it ‘common’ and comparing it to ‘SF tech culture.’
While some users laughed at the absurdity, many others slammed the mindset, calling it ‘toxic,’ ‘exploitative,’ and ‘completely out of touch.’ People demanded stricter labour laws and better workplace rights in India, highlighting how normalised overwork has become in some companies.
From memes to angry comments, netizens didn’t hold back. And the bigger worry? This might not be a one-off case, but a growing trend.

The post shared with the caption, “Found this gem of a job opening on LinkedIn.” Reddit users flooded the comment section. One user wrote, “Bhai, I have been hired for one such organisation. They would say stuff like If the candidate is negotiating, then we don’t want them to join us.” “They take Yes for desperate candidates, nobody in their right mind is gonna say Yes,” a second user added.
“I HATE these companies who will term these atrocious expectations in a ‘hustle culture work hard slay hard’ SO MUCH,” added a third user. “At least they are upfront that you can avoid them even before you start the job. You don’t have to interview and then find out this ridiculous work culture,” a fourth user added.
