Zomato kicked off a heated LinkedIn debate with its post: “The same oven that bakes the cake can also burn it. Know when it’s time to leave.” While some saw it as a life lesson, others read between the lines—was this a subtle nod to toxic workplaces?
Brands quickly joined the metaphor game. Practo weighed in: “The same job that wears you down can also spark the desire to prioritise your well-being.”
LinkedIn users, however, had their own interpretations. Some called it a reality check on burnout, while others joked about HR sending motivational emails with this exact quote. One user quipped, “The same office that gives you free coffee can also give you existential dread.”
Whether it’s a call for self-care or just another viral marketing moment, one thing is clear—everyone’s got an oven, but not all cakes turn out sweet.
