Job story: In a surprising turn of events, an Indian student who shamed a woman as a “diversity hire” on LinkedIn found himself being interviewed by the same woman. The incident kept him “scared as hell” when he realized the woman he had belittled was now in a position to grade him. An IIT graduate and a friend of the interviewer had shared the story on X, as that showed how JN “karma bites you back in ways you can’t even fathom.”

Early Encounter over LinkedIn

The story was shared on X by Pranav Mehta, a former Microsoft employee. He mentioned that his lady friend working for a startup got a message from a college student asking to refer him for an SDE-1 position. She suggested he revise his resume first when she opened it.

The Student’s Response was Genuinely Harsh

Instead of taking the advice in stride, the student became hostile, marginalizing her and telling her that she was just a “diversity hire” who wasn’t qualified to advise him. The rude encounter didn’t stop the student from getting a referral later for a job at a product-based company.

His Karma Caught Up With Him

When the boy came for an interview, he was shocked to find that the lady who sat opposite him was the very one whom he had degraded on LinkedIn. Mehta recounts how horrified the student looked when he realized his mistake. Yet, despite all this, the lady did not let that incidence interfere with her judgment regarding his candidature.

Reactions Pour In

Soon, the story spread like wildfire on social media, with most sharing their thoughts. One such user stated, “It’s utterly stupid to insult a senior employee for no reason at all, much less at a company you want to work for.” Another chimed in to say this situation really puts into perspective the small world it can be, while others debated the effects of hiring based on diversity.

Conclusion: A Lesson in Professionalism

Though the lady did not judge the woman based on her personal experience, the story still reminds us that professionalism and respect should be there everywhere. The student was a victim of oblivious acts coming right back to haunt him, rather painfully in this networking world.
