During work hours, an employee was caught using Instagram, Netflix, the shopping website Ajio and even job-searching platforms like Naukri. A LinkedIn user shared this incident, revealing that their friend received a formal warning from HR for these activities. According to the post, the employee received an official notice via email regarding their excessive use of social media, particularly after being caught watching interviews with Bollywood actor Babil Khan. Additionally, it was mentioned that some colleagues had complained about the same employee taking home coffee pouches, sugar sachets and Maggi packets.
The LinkedIn user shared the screenshot of the warning from the HR representative, which read, “It has come to our attention that you are utilizing the company’s time, electricity and internet to visit websites unrelated to your job responsibilities, specifically websites such as Instagram, Netflix, Naukri and also you spent 6 hours on AJIO last Friday, 31st May. Engaging in personal activities during working hours does not align with our expectations. 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," HR wrote.
The post sparked mixed reactions, with some believing the issue should be resolved without causing trouble, while others criticised the LinkedIn user for publicly highlighting their friend’s wrongdoing without permission.
Reacting to the post, a user pointed out, “You took the time to hide the HR’s name but didn’t bother doing that for your friend! I’d never want such a friend."
Another shared, “You are making your friend known for her wrongdoing. I am not sure if you obtained permission before publicising her on a professional platform."
“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," a comment read.
Another suggested, “Jab tak kisi ne chugli na ki ho, ye sab notice nahi hone wala. (Until someone didn’t complain about it, this won’t be noticed at all)."
One more added, “The irony of ‘we are a family’ culture."
Since the post was shared online, it has gone viral and garnered over 400 reactions.
