A woman in Pakistan, Adina Hira, took to social media to expose the sexual advances she faced while searching for a job. In a post shared on X on July 23, Hira detailed her experience and included snapshots of inappropriate messages from job interviewers.
Creepy Messages from Interviewers
Hira, a recent graduate, applied for jobs on the Indeed website. Instead of professional responses, she received unsettling messages from hiring managers. One message stated that she “needs to be ready to cooperate with the boss regarding any activities,” and when she asked for clarification, the person responded that she would have to “spend some quality time with your boss.” Another interviewer, named Sadam Bhukari, mentioned she would need to “fulfill some special and personal tasks for the boss.”
Social Media Reactions
Hira’s post quickly gained attention, with many people expressing their outrage and offering support. Comments ranged from advice on taking legal action to suggestions for exposing the individuals involved.
An individual wrote, “Also call them out on LinkedIn, get the support of the community so we can warn others.”
Another user, Dr. Farhan K Virk, commented, “File an appeal for harassment with the federal ombudsperson. It’s the safest & quickest way to get justice. They will have to pay for this.”
Bilal Khan shared, “Good job taking the first step exposing the criminal employer. Now, take it further and post their address and the names of the individuals who are involved. Most girls don’t take this step in Pakistan, India, and third-world countries. So nice job once again. Every girl must not fear these animals regardless of how much money they offer or whoever they are. Never remain silent.”
A fourth added, “This is absolutely disgusting. If he’s demanding sexual favours so casually from employees, one can only wonder what he’s done to others who are already working for him. He cannot be in power.”
