Malini Agarwal, who runs the entertainment website Miss Malini, has been facing backlash on social media after she shared an Instagram post about a job opportunity with her company.

Social media users pointed out that the expectations from the job were "cruel".

"Malini, pay your employees a livable wage challenge," commented @arshadwahid on Instagram. Another user @hotchocolateislove wrote, "Thats sheer slavery at 25K a month."

Apart from the lost list of demands and meagre pay, what social media users found offensive was that despite Miss Malini's intense stress on being grammatically correct, the post itself was riddled with typos -- a fact that the users took upon themselves to correct.

"Umm... For someone so particular about commas and punctuation, she should know its wears not wears. I know thats beside the point of the toxic expectations but still," tweeted @oknottested.

"Ma'am, you made typos yourself. It's Devil Wears Prada, not wear's, it's stationery, not stationary. Lol," commented @madhurikumar20 on Instagram.
