A man’s jubilant celebration after resigning from what he describes as a toxic workplace has gone viral on social media, reigniting debate about the importance of employee wellbeing around the world.
In a video posted on social media, Aniket, a sales associate for a company in Pune, India, revealed he decided to leave his job after three years because his salary had “increased in peanuts” and because “the boss does not respect me at all”.
His friends decided to celebrate the moment with him and brought dhol players (Indian version of drums) outside his office for him to dance to. In the now-viral video, Aniket can be seen dancing and saying goodbye to his manager who seemed to be furious by the act.
Later, the video shows him visiting the temple and his friends hosting a surprise party for him complete with decorations and a cake.
