Overview
- In an Instagram video, a Bengaluru worker says seven years in corporate life and four job switches left a recurring sense of emptiness.
- He says even a 50% salary hike only funds “better distractions” such as a bigger flat, nicer dinners and better trips.
- The post is captioned “7 years. 4 jobs. Still figuring it out,” and it questions working 8 to 9 hours a day without clear meaning.
- Hindustan Times, Mint and News18 reported the clip on Friday and Saturday with user-generated-content disclaimers and varying spellings of the man’s name.
- Commenters describe burnout and “Sunday night” anxiety, with many saying a raise feels good for a short time before the emptiness returns.
