Would You Take A Rs 22 LPA Job If Your Office Was 'On The Road'? This Viral Reddit Post Is Breaking The Internet

You’ve survived WFO (Work From Office), embraced WFH (Work From Home), and even flirted with WFA (Work From Anywhere). But Indian workplaces just dropped the ultimate upgrade that no one asked for yet most are already living.

A hilarious (and painfully relatable) reddit post has gone viral for its brutally honest job post. The post reads, “You have heard WFO, you have heard WFH, now get ready for…” appears to be a job posting on Glassdoor which mentions, ‘Work Location: On the road’ tag — complete with a base pay of Rs 18L – Rs 22L per year.

The listing, which appears to be for a Product Design Engineer role, promises paid parental leaves, employee engagement activities, CSR, and a “work-life balance friendly environment”… while openly admitting

you’ll be spending your 9-to-5 (and probably beyond) stuck in traffic.

The post quickly sparked a wave of reactions on Reddit, with users chiming in to share their own experiences. One comment, in particular, struck a chord and summed up the sentiment perfectly, “Honestly it’s possible in Bangalore traffic. Take a cab, sit in the back seat, start work at 9, and when you reach office have lunch then actually start working.”

Comments poured in with a mix of savage humor and painful relatability, with many users joking about how “It means ‘sadak pe aajaoge’ if u join” and another read, “Making you feel grounded. Very humbling.”

Users shared a candid take, “Yep, they will ensure that we will have our feet firmly on the ground.”

The post has further then sparked a unreal relatability for the pay that the job role is offering, “Ngl I’d accept the on the road job if I’m being paid 18LPA.”

While global companies experiment with true “Work From Anywhere” policies (working from beaches or different countries), Indian professionals seem to have invented their own hyper-local version born out of necessity rather than policy.
