Reddit Post Claims Delhi Startup Expects Round-the-Clock Work as Layoff-Hit Candidate Weighs Offer

Publishers say the claims have not been independently verified.

Overview

  • A professional facing a December 31 layoff described interviewing for a technical sales role at a Delhi-based startup after nearly five years of experience and a ₹11 lakh salary while working remotely from Indore.
  • The Reddit post alleges the founder wrote on WhatsApp that people in India work “24h/24h,” signaling expectations of round-the-clock availability despite stated office hours.
  • The candidate said probation terms and performance targets were “not fixed yet,” with a suggestion to join first and clarify later.
  • The offer reportedly matched the current ₹11 lakh package but required relocation to Delhi, which the job seeker viewed as unfavorable given higher costs and being treated like a fresher.
  • Hindustan Times and Mint reported the social media account and highlighted strong online advice to reject the offer, while noting the claims remain user-generated and unverified.
