A Pakistani woman who was in search of a job allegedly faced sexual advances from several potential employers. An X user Adina Hira shared her ordeal on social media about howshe was applying for jobs as a fresher and received "special" requests from hiring managers. Hira also posted screenshots of her alleged conversations with people who offered thejobto showcase the reality.
"Being a girl in Pakistan is too difficult! I applied for a job on the Indeed website, which was for fresh graduates, and this is the message I received. It's unbelievable! Who knows how many innocent girls they must have taken advantage of? When a fresh graduate looks for a job," wrote Hira in the post.
In the screenshots, one of the hiring persons told her that she "needs to be ready to cooperate with the boss regarding any activities." When Hira asked him to expand on it, the person said, "have to spend some quality time with your boss."
In another screenshot, a person named Sadam Bhukari told Hira that she would need to "arrange meetings, manage travel arrangements, attend calls, and fulfil some special and personal tasks for the boss."

An X user suggested that Hira should also"call them out on LinkedIn, get the support of the community so we can warn others."
Another X user commented, "File an appeal for harassment with federal ombudsperson. It's the safest & quickest way to get justice. They will have to pay for this."
A third X user 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 person said, "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."
