All about Vishal Mega Mart security guard job drive; here's how it started the biggest meme fest
Job trends at Vishal Mega Mart: What started as a routine recruitment drive by Vishal Mega Mart has unexpectedly turned into a nationwide online sensation. The retail chain, known for its over 700 stores across India, recently announced a massive hiring push for thousands of security guards. While the goal was to boost their workforce, the Internet had other plans.
Social media users quickly latched onto the announcement, turning the security guard role into a cultural moment packed with satire, memes, and humorous commentary on India's employment scene.
Phrases like 'Ek hi sapna – Vishal Mega Mart security guard' and 'Vishal Mega Mart chowkidar first attempt fail' started popping up online, mimicking the language used by aspirants of India's most competitive exams like UPSC, NEET, and IIT-JEE. What was once just a retail job suddenly became the centre of memes, jokes, and viral reels.
The spark was Vishal Mega Mart's large-scale call for applications — an open invitation for thousands of security guard positions across India. The recruitment details, once circulated on WhatsApp groups and social platforms, caught fire. What intrigued people even more was the structured selection process: a written exam covering current affairs, English, and local languages, followed by physical training, medical checks, and preference for candidates with experience, martial arts skills, or shooting training.

With the country already burdened by job shortages, the idea that even a guard's post required such competitive filtering hit home, albeit with a heavy dose of satire. The seriousness of the process, all very real, became the perfect material for meme creators.
As the trend picked up steam, memers unleashed their creativity. Fake coaching centres offering 'Vishal Mega Mart Security Guard Prep Classes' started appearing in parody posts. AI-generated memes flooded Instagram and X, including one where Virat Kohli and Cristiano Ronaldo were spotted wearing security guard uniforms outside a Vishal Mega Mart – a perfect blend of absurdity and brilliance.
Reels began showcasing mock training montages and exaggerated selection drills, and some creators even spoofed classic 'first attempt fail' motivational videos.

The humour resonated deeply, but beneath the jokes lay a sobering truth: India's job crisis is so intense that even entry-level roles can become symbols of aspiration and struggle.
Salary figures shared on job portals like AmbitionBox and Glassdoor added more context — freshers earning Rs 9,000 to Rs 12,000, experienced guards making Rs 13,000 to Rs 18,000, and supervisors getting up to Rs 25,000. Added benefits include PF, medical coverage, and staff discounts.

NewJeans refuses to reach a mutual agreement with ADOR amid the contract dispute case; cites breaking of trust and mistreatment
The NewJeans and ADOR case has taken a completely new turn as the second court hearing was held. The contractual dispute between NewJeans and their management agency has been going on for months, with their second hearing for the case only held recently. In new reports, the K-pop group has refused to reach and negotiate any 'mutual agreements,' citing mistreatment. NewJeans refuses negotiations for mutual agreement In the second hearing half for the dispute case held on June 4, girl group NewJeans completely refused to reach a mutual settlement with their management agency. According to reports in Maeil Business Newspaper, the group was recommended by the 41st Civil Agreement Division of the Seoul Central District Court to reach a settlement with their former agency in order to put the overall case to rest. At the hearing, the girl group completely refused to reach any kind of settlement with the company. ADOR, on the other hand, has expressively made comments that they are willing and open for any kind of mutual settlement talks with the girl group. In a statement they shared that 'once the court's conclusion comes out, a settlement will be easier afterward." Unable to settle due to mistreatment The group cited that due to the trust that has been broken, they cannot settle for any mutual agreement. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo They also shared that the decision is also influenced by the kind of mistreatment they had to undergo during their time with the management company. In a short statement, NewJeans stated that "trust has been completely broken. There's no turning back." They have also shared that their management did not protect the girls from favoritism and partiality, sharing that this went against their contract and that the company was in breach of it. NewJeans' legal representative also issued a statement after being asked by the court whether the girls would be willing to negotiate a settlement deal. In the statement, their legal representative replied with, "The defendants' mental conditions and such things do not seem to be in a situation where we can think of an agreement at this time." More about NewJeans' legal dispute The contractual dispute case has been going on since November last year. The group and their management agency went into a legal battle as the group announced the termination of their contract with the company during a press conference. Their management then later on filed a lawsuit against the group, citing that "just because you unilaterally claim that trust has been broken cannot be a reason for termination." The court later ruled in the company's favor, barring the girls from holding any solo and independent activities under their group name.
