'Suddenly, I'm the internet's helpdesk' 'Come on, I hire smart people. I'm not Gemini with legs.' Workplace Chaos, and Surviving it With Humour 'You Must Be Google's Emergency Helpline' In a delightful mix of wit, sarcasm, and relatable workplace frustration, a Bengaluru-based Google recruiter has captured the internet's attention with a LinkedIn post that humorously unpacks the most bizarre assumptions people make about her job. Nancy Paul , a recruiter at Google, recently took to LinkedIn to share the unintended consequences of revealing her employer in social settings. The moment she mentions Google, she says, her role is instantly misunderstood — and drastically her now-viral post, Paul writes:'I'm no longer just a recruiter. I become the universal helpdesk for the entire internet.'Paul outlined how conversations with acquaintances, family, or even strangers often lead to misplaced expectations — from fixing Gmail and troubleshooting YouTube, to intervening in GPay glitches or 'resetting servers' on the assumptions don't stop at tech support. Sharing a list of amusing one-liners, she describes how she's been asked if she naps in Google's sleep pods, avoids cooking thanks to free office meals, and even if she can directly call Sundar Pichai to report technical doesn't hold back when responding to these wild expectations. Her sarcastic comebacks — 'Gmail isn't loading? Only if 'fixing' means telling you to turn it off and on again,' or 'Free son? Great Uncle-ji, but this is hiring, not a raffle' — have users in splits.A standout zinger? When an aunty casually asks about her shares and CTC over chai, Paul quips:'Why stop there? Want my bank PIN too?'Despite the humour, Paul uses the post to clarify what her role actually involves. It's not 24/7 tech wizardry or recruitment on demand. She describes her job as demanding, fast-paced, and constantly evolving — one that requires curiosity, adaptability, and a thick skin to survive the chaos of tech-world myths.'Working at Google is chaotic, humbling, and inspiring, all at once,' she writes. 'It's not about knowing everything. It's about staying curious, building cool things, and having enough humor to survive the assumptions.'Nancy's relatable satire struck a chord with LinkedIn users, who flooded the comments with their own hilarious tales of mistaken job identities.'Respect to you for surviving Google-level expectations! BTW, small request from Mama ji, he forgot his Gmail password. Can you reset it directly from Google's server?' joked one chimed in: 'When I worked in HP in the software team, I regularly got questions about why the printer was not working.'Nancy, for her part, didn't miss a beat. When one commenter teased about Google Maps acting up, she replied:'Maps saw you coming and said 'not today'.'And when someone asked if she gets to use Google Meet for free, her deadpan response was:'Yours is free.

It's a reminder of the invisible weight professionals carry when their job titles turn into shorthand for free support or unrealistic expectations.
