These days an alleged office is on social media. strange The notice is going viral, seeing which the employed people are both surprised and angry. It is written in this notice that if an employee delays the lunch break even by just 1 minute, he will have to do 1 hour extra duty as punishment and will not get any money for this overtime.
In this notice going viral, employees have been clearly told to have lunch early, otherwise be prepared to face consequences. According to a strange office rule, only 30 minutes are allotted for lunch (30 Minute Lunch Limit) has been done, and if an employee takes even one minute more than this, he will have to give 60 minutes of focus time to the company after 6 pm, for which no additional payment (60 Minutes Unpaid Focus Time) will not be done.
This simply means that if you take a 31-minute lunch break, you will not be able to go home at 6 pm. You will be forced to stay in the office till 7 pm. At the end of this notice it is written in big letters, ‘Eat quickly.’ (Eat Faster).
Debate broke out on social media
This post, shared on X (earlier Twitter) on June 22, has been viewed approximately 1.5 lakh times so far. Netizens are divided into two groups regarding this strange rule. Some users are calling it the worst example of ‘micromanagement’. People say that it is completely wrong and illegal to get 1 hour’s work done without money in exchange of 1 minute delay.
One user taunted, if it is so then the employees should also keep track of every extra minute. If someone worked even a minute late, the company should give him full 1 hour of overtime. Another user wrote, such treatment of employees will harm the work of the company.
At the same time, some people took the side of the company and said that there is nothing wrong in it. When the company pays full salary, the work should also be done as per the stipulated time. In today’s competitive era, this rule is better than losing your job. A businessman wrote, when you run your own business and see that employees are wasting time in the name of lunch, it feels sad. Running a business in India is not as easy as spreading knowledge on Twitter.
Is it office or jail? When I had lunch for 31 minutes, the company forcibly stopped me in the evening.
If your management writes policies like this, don’t be surprised when your best employees write resignation emails. pic.twitter.com/3v5jZGA3XS
