A Gurgaon-based former Amazon employee has gone viral on LinkedIn after jokingly announcing the launch of a satirical political outfit called the “Corporate Majdoor Janta Party” (CMJP), inspired by the online “Cockroach Janta Party” movement.
Shubham Kumar Mittal, a former Amazon product manager who now works in business growth and strategy at a botanical company, shared a humorous manifesto targeting corporate culture, layoffs, HR practices and workplace meetings.
Satirical manifesto targets corporate work culture
In his LinkedIn post, Mittal wrote, “After ‘Cockroach Janta Party’ crossed 13M followers on Instagram, I’ve decided to launch my own party: ‘Corporate Majdoor Janta Party’.”
His proposed “promises” included a four-day work week, calling “Quick call?” messages a form of workplace harassment, and declaring PowerPoint presentations with more than 50 slides unconstitutional.
He also suggested a “freedom fighter pension” for employees who survive three layoffs, mandatory two-month summer breaks for recovery from “corporate trauma”, and treating MS Teams “Away” status as a fundamental right.
Mittal further wrote that HR statements such as “We are family” should fall under emotional manipulation laws, while differences between CTC and in-hand salary should be audited by the CBI.
He concluded the post by saying, “Manifesto drafting is complete. Currently waiting for approval from 4 managers, 2 HRs, and one Excel sheet.”
Social media users react to viral post
The post received thousands of reactions, with many users noting that the satire closely reflected real corporate experiences.
One user joked that the proposed party’s promises were more realistic than those of most governments, adding suggestions such as taxing unnecessary meetings. Another commented humorously about joining the “party” through LinkedIn-style recruitment. A third user described the manifesto as highly relatable amid similar satirical attempts.
Inspired by viral Cockroach Janta Party movement
Mittal’s post was inspired by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a satirical online movement that gained traction after controversial remarks by Chief Justice Surya Kant allegedly compared unemployed youth to “cockroaches”.
Though not an officially registered political party, CJP has grown as a digital protest symbol. Its stated vision criticises corruption and misuse of public funds, while its mission highlights satire-driven commentary on how young people are often labelled in society.
