In an incident that has sparked wide debate on professional responsibility and hiring challenges, a Delhi-based HR executive took to LinkedIn to express her surprise and concern after a new hire resigned on their very first day at work. The individual, who had accepted a sales position at her company, reportedly exited without a phone call or formal discussion, sending only a short message: “Mujhe yeh kaam pasand nahi aaya” (I didn’t like the job).

The HR professional, Aishwarya Chaurasiya, stated that the candidate was fully informed during the recruitment process about the demanding nature of the sales role. Despite this, the person chose to leave abruptly after Day 1, offering no detailed explanation beyond the one-line text. “So what changed overnight?” Chaurasiya asked in her post, now circulating widely on LinkedIn.

Perfection Takes Time, Not Hours

Sharing her reflections, Chaurasiya used the episode to address a broader concern around job expectations and early exits. She stressed that no position can feel ideal from day one and that comfort in a role requires time, effort, and adaptability.

“No job becomes perfect in a day. No company can prove everything in 24 hours. And no role will ever feel ‘comfortable’ until you give it your time, energy, and mindset,” she wrote.

Advice For Job Seekers

She also offered specific guidance for prospective employees:

• “Ask your doubts clearly during the interview.”
• “If you’re unsure, wait—don’t rush to say yes.”
• “Once committed, try to give your role a fair chance before deciding it’s ‘not for you.’”
• “And most importantly—communicate. Silence never shows professionalism.”

Closing her note with a message to both employers and employees, Chaurasiya highlighted that HR professionals invest not just in hiring but in believing in people. “Belief only works when it’s mutual,” she stated, adding that growth stems not from ideal roles, but from “patience, clarity, and learning from discomfort.”

The post has since gone viral, prompting discussions among recruiters and job seekers alike about the importance of commitment, clear communication, and realistic expectations in professional settings.
