In the corporate world, changing jobs to get a salary hike is common. But one employee recently took this practice to a completely new level. On Instagram, comedian Anmol Garg shared the story about this particular employee who managed to jump from earning 4 lakh per annum to 12 lakh per annum with just one job switch.
Anmol received a direct message (DM) on Instagram where the sender explained how he cleverly edited his salary slip and used it to negotiate higher offers without learning new skills or changing his work.
What Exactly Did He Do?
The person revealed that he had edited his payslip, where a Rs 4 lakh per annum salary was changed to Rs 7 lakh per annum. He then asked the new company for a raise based on the edited salary slip and received an offer of Rs 8.5 lakh. But that’s not all, he interviewed with another company where he showed the Rs 8.5 lakh offer letter and finally secured a job with Rs 12 lakh per annum.
The ’Corporate Cobra’
This DM left Anmol amazed and amused at the person’s audacity and cleverness.
After reading the message, the comedian couldn’t help but react. He jokingly called the sender a “corporate cobra,” impressed by how someone could jump from 4 lakh to 12 lakh per annum without learning any new skills or changing their work.
“Bhai tu saanp nahi, corporate ka cobra hai. Yar tu 4 se seedha 12 chala gaya without learning new skills, same kaam kr rha hai. Ek din tu manager zarur Banega. Quality hai tere mein bhai (Brother, you’re not a snake, you’re a corporate cobra. You jumped from 4 to 12 lakh without learning new skills, doing the same work. One day, you will definitely become a manager. You have quality, brother),” he said.
Anmol then highlighted the ethical risk of the stunt. He explained how most people work hard for salary hikes, while this person used Photoshop to boost their offer.
“Matlab yaha log hike ke liye mehnat karte hai, tu photoshop kar rha hai. Kisi din bhai tu pakda jaega na, tere ko nikalenge, certificate me likhenge fraud hai tu. Lekin kya fayeda, wo bhi tu edit kardega (People here work hard for hikes, but you’re doing Photoshop. One day you will get caught, they will fire you, and your certificate will say you’re a fraud. But what’s the point, you’ll edit that too),” he said.
He also joked about the editor behind this move, “This is ethically and morally wrong. Wo jo editor hai uska zara number mujko de dena (Give me the editor’s number).”
He captioned the video with a funny warning: “Bhagwaan sab dekh raha hai (God is watching everything).”
The Reactions Are Priceless
The story became a viral sensation as it accumulated over thirteen million views. In the comment section, people shared all kinds of reactions.
One user commented, “This man is a legend.”
Another said, “If companies keep going based on payslips instead of skills and value provided, they deserve this.”
“It’s called offer shopping. That’s very common in the corporate industry, but still is unethical,” someone added.
A person wrote, “Ye pakka jail jaega ek din (He will definitely go to jail one day).”
“Bhai ka future bright hai (Brother’s future is bright),” “Background verification laughing in the corner”, and “Bro hacked the system,” were some other fun reactions.
Many also pointed out that such tricks may not work as most companies conduct thorough background checks.
