Zomato founder Deepinder Goyal is popular for his viral posts on X account and social media stunts. This time he is getting attention because of his most recent tweet about the hiring of a chief of staff. Let’s explore this interesting story below and unveil the reaction of X users after his post.
Deepinder Goyal shared a screenshot of the hiring post for chief of staff for Gurugram headquarters. He added in his post that the person should be hungry with common sense and empathy. Along with it, Mr. Goyal wrote that the candidate must be “down to earth” and have “zero entitlement”.
But the interesting is yet to be discussed here. After all the details regarding the post of chief of staff, Zomato founder added that if the candidate gets selected then will not be paid a salary for the first year and the candidate has to donate ₹20 lakh to Feeding India. From the second year onwards, the candidate will get a salary of over ₹50 lakh.
“There is no salary for this role for the first year. You will have to, in fact, pay ₹20 lacs for this opportunity. 100% of this “fee” will be paid in the form of a donation directly to Feeding India (if you are offered the role, and you accept it). At our end, we want to demonstrate that we are not trying to save money here – we will contribute ₹50 lacs (equivalent to a Chief of Staff salary) to a charity of your choice. Second year onwards, we will start paying you the usual salary (definitely more than 50 lacs, but something we will only talk about at the start of Year 2),” the job description for Zomato’s Chief Of Staff read.
There are several interesting reactions from netizens over this post by Deepinder Goyal. Some of the replies are available below.
“They will surely go hungry after the loan for 20L,” one user quipped. To this, Goyal responded, “Will let you know how this goes :)”
“Bad idea. Please pay. 3 months into it, if you feel the person is not the right fit. He will lose a lot of money. And will gain nothing but a bitter experience.Young people need money, not the afterglow of charity,” a user commented.
