A LinkedIn user, Sumit Mishra posted on his account, an official letter that one of his friends received from her HR. The friend, Rishika, got a warning from her HR for using Instagram and streaming Netflix during work hours.
The mail also talked about her using Ajio.com and Naukri.com and watching Babil Khan’s interviews instead of working. The mail also added that she also used sugar sachets, coffee pouches and forks for personal use.
The mail said, "Please remember, we already gave you a casual warning last week when you were caught watching Babil Khan interviews while on duty! Many of your colleagues have also reported that you and Shreya carry coffee pouches, sugar sachets, Maggi, forks, and disposable plates from the pantry for personal use. Please note that stealing products from office property is strictly prohibited."
Many users came in support of the HR and the company, “I think HR is right. It is not okay to steal things when they are small. It is not okay to earn money hourly but wasting it”, one user said. “such a clear communication and highly required as well! company provides salary for working, not for our extra curricular activities.. and to steal company property, is showing poor mindset!”, said another user.
Another user said, “That's a tough situation. It's good that they communicated their concerns clearly. Maybe it’s a chance to revisit how to balance personal time and work? Hope it gets sorted out smoothly!”
