, samne wali company 4 paisa jada de rahi hai (Hi sir, I've sold out, the other company is offering a little more money). Regards, Dayitva Shah.' The straightforward confession, loosely translated as 'I've sold out, the other company is offering a bit more money,' struck a chord with thousands online.

The post sparked a massive wave of reactions across social media, with users responding in amusement, empathy, and even nostalgia.

One commenter on LinkedIn admitted, 'I've thought this exact thing but never had the guts to say it.' Others found humor in the bluntness, imagining managers reacting with surprise or amusement—'Thik hai, udhar koi vacancy ho to batana' quickly became a popular joke.
