Ex-Amazon employee's Corporate Majdoor Janta Party declares 'war' on PPTs and HR

A Gurgaon-based former Amazon employee has gone viral on LinkedIn after jokingly launching a fictional political party aimed entirely at exhausted corporate employees, and the internet is absolutely ready to vote.

Shubham Kumar Mittal, who previously worked as a product manager at Amazon for nearly five years and now leads business growth and strategy at a botanical company, shared a satirical post announcing the formation of the “Corporate Majdoor Janta Party” (CMJP). The idea appears to draw inspiration from the wildly popular “Cockroach Janta Party” meme movement that has exploded across Instagram in recent months.

In his LinkedIn post, Mittal unveiled a hilariously relatable “manifesto” taking aim at everything corporate employees secretly complain about: endless meetings, fake workplace culture, confusing salary structures and HR jargon.

“After ‘Cockroach Janta Party’ crossed 13M followers on Instagram, I’ve decided to launch my own party: ‘Corporate Majdoor Janta Party’,” he wrote.

The post only became more chaotic from there.

Among the promises listed in the mock manifesto were a four-day work week “because 5 days of pretending to enjoy work is too much,” declaring “Quick call?” messages as workplace harassment, and asking for the gap between CTC and in-hand salary to be audited by the CBI.

Mittal also joked that employees surviving three consecutive layoffs should receive “freedom fighter pension”, while PowerPoint presentations above 50 slides should be declared unconstitutional.

“HR saying ‘We are family’ to come under emotional manipulation laws,” another line read, instantly resonating with thousands of corporate workers online.

The satire struck a nerve across LinkedIn and Instagram, where users flooded the comments section saying the manifesto felt “too real” to be a joke. The satire struck a nerve across LinkedIn and Instagram, where users flooded the comments section saying the manifesto felt “too real” to simply laugh off. Several corporate employees joked that CMJP already sounded more relatable than actual workplace policies.

But the internet chaos did not stop at a viral LinkedIn post.

A simple Google search for “Corporate Majdoor Janta Party” now leads to a dedicated website carrying the same name, complete with a portal inviting people to “join” the movement. The existence of the website left many users both amused and confused, with some wondering whether the joke had evolved into a full-fledged internet campaign.

Adding to the meme ecosystem, comedian Anmol Garg has also been posting videos online calling for a similarly named corporate workers’ party, further fuelling the trend across social media platforms.

What began as one sarcastic LinkedIn post has now snowballed into a larger internet joke around burnout culture, toxic productivity and the everyday absurdities of corporate life — proving once again that nothing unites Indian employees faster than shared workplace trauma.
