Looking for a job that demands you work 90-110 hours a week? A 'hiring post' on LinkedIn has caught the internet's attention for its outlandish demands for a job like no other. The post includes unique qualifications and work targets, such as achieving a sales target of 10 million INR monthly, raising $3 million in seed funding, and achieving a $15 million valuation for a company. Being unmarried is suggested to avoid "wasting time staring at a wife."
Kunwar Raj, who describes himself as the founder of 'Superpen' on LinkedIn, shared a satirical "hiring post" critiquing corporate work culture by humorously demanding a workload of 90-100 hours weekly. This post followed a viral statement from L&T's chairman SN Subrahmanyam advocating long work hours, questioning, "How long can you stare at your wife?"
The now-viral post by Kunwar Raj has left many in stitches. He humorously announced recruitment for a "part-time Chief of Staff" but outlined bizarre and entertaining demands, poking fun at the corporate world.

Witty Responses from Social Media
The post is entirely sarcastic, targeting recent controversial statements and the demands for extensive work weeks. Social media users responded with a flood of humorous comments. One LinkedIn user, claiming to be an IIT Ranchi alum, humorously wrote, "Excited to announce I'm applying for this wonderful part-time opportunity to become Chief Everything Officer! At 30 years old, I boast 25+ years of experience from a Tier-0 college because Tier-1 wasn't enough. No social life, so no worries about happiness. I thrive on a 110-hour workweek, and burnout is my breakfast."

One user quipped, "Candidates will queue up." Another added, "Make it 130 hours without pay, then I'm interested."
Notably, L&T chairman Subrahmanyan recently sparked debate by advocating for 90-hour workweeks in a video conferencing discussion with employees, questioning why L&T staffers don't feel the need to work on Sundays. His statement ignited widespread discussion on social media, drawing criticism from Bollywood to the business world.
