A candidate who asked for Rs 65,000, accepted Rs 50,000 after being told the role offered significant learning opportunities, and resigned two months later for Rs 75,000 elsewhere, leaving her manager saying the company could have done something had she only informed them first.
The scenario was shared by Delhi-based entrepreneur Kanika Jain on social media, where it drew over 290 reactions and sparked a wider conversation about salary negotiation, workplace recognition, and what companies actually do when they say they value their employees.
