After relocating from Bengaluru to Mumbai, talent acquisition manager Mayank Kumar shared his surprising culture shock, which was not the expected challenges like traffic or rent, but rather the courteousness of Mumbai's auto rickshaw drivers. In a viral LinkedIn post, Kumar humorously likened the auto-hailing process in Bengaluru to navigating a tough job interview, where refusals and fare negotiations are common. However, his experience in Mumbai was markedly different. When he approached an auto driver, who declined his fare request, the driver instead offered to help him reach the main road to find another ride. This act of kindness, where the driver refused payment and even flagged down another auto for him, left a lasting impression on Kumar. He drew parallels between this experience and recruitment, noting that small acts of professionalism can significantly impact candidates' perceptions. His post resonated with many, sparking a lively discussion about the auto culture in Mumbai, with users sharing both positive and negative experiences.
