Bengaluru youth’s self-written ‘obituary’ on LinkedIn goes viral amid job hunt frustration


Daijiworld Media Network – Bengaluru

Bengaluru, Apr 5: A young man from Bengaluru, frustrated over being unemployed for the past three years, has grabbed social media attention with a unique and emotional post he shared on LinkedIn, a platform typically used for professional networking.

The youth, identified as Prashanth Haridas, shared what resembled his own obituary, narrating the mental and emotional turmoil he has endured during his prolonged job search.

In his viral post, Prashanth wrote, "Thank you, LinkedIn. Thank you, employers. Thank you for ignoring my applications. Thank you for wasting my time and money while I was trying to find a job. I know very well that no one will hire me after this post. RIP."

Despite the post’s somber tone, Prashanth made it clear that he was not contemplating suicide. He clarified that he was ‘dead only in terms of employment’ and added, “I love life, and I am not going to end it.”

The heartfelt message has sparked widespread reactions from LinkedIn users, many expressing empathy, support, and encouragement for Prashanth, while others have shared similar struggles in the competitive job market.

    I don't think it's very difficult to find a job, but I agree that finding a job that matches your education and qualifications is a bit challenging nowadays. However, anyone can start with any work that helps them make a living. With hard work and dedication, they can gradually move on to higher positions.

    In each Street we can find one Engineering college, there is no value and demand for software professionals, same scenario now in medical colleges, more doctors than patients

    In India, there are so many profitable good companies still giving monthly salary of 9000 to 14000. Government and unions should fix the minimum monthly salary of 18000 or 20000 onwards.

    Only your skills are required by current market trend, instead of doing such kind of tactics.

    My friend Kiran, It is not Tactics but Realty. LinkedIn, Naukri, Monster etc are a place of waste. They expect every detail of you. Not ends there. They want you to fill again and again for each of their clients at the cost of your patience and time. They are also a playground for players of your life with calls often say "Do you look for a Job or Job change ? Then they will see and calculate how much they can extract from you. They also has links to Matrimonials to sell you, if at all got a job from tail and tooth struggle. Government should do something to ban collecting info by any means by everyone except one and only one location accessible legally and authentically. It saves so many hours of job seekers valuable time. Some job sites take so much time ( that also if internet is in our favour) and candidates get a self satisfaction after successfully filling the jobsite mouth. Candidates float in dream that this time there is guarrantee. Later as usual the mail comes ..... After careful veification, we have decided to go with other candidates this time. Please be disheartened and keep browsing the oppotunities at our site till your last breath. RIP LinkedIn, Monster, Naukri....

    "If software companies offer a new B.Tech software engineer a monthly salary of Rs. 10,000, what is left to say? There are many qualified individuals who struggle so much that some even end up giving their lives, and this is a very tragic matter."
