Woman Offered Lower Salary as Pharmacist Than Hospital Cleaner’s Pay
A woman named Asha shared on Instagram her experience interviewing for a pharmacist position at a hospital, where she was offered a monthly salary of 12,000 to 14,000 rupees for 10-hour workdays. She was surprised to learn that a cleaner at the same hospital earned 16,000 rupees monthly, highlighting a pay disparity. Asha, a pharmacy fresher with four years of healthcare experience, expected a higher salary but was told freshers typically receive lower pay. The video sparked public discussion on wage differences.
