Warning for using Instagram during work hours

Sumit Mishra, a LinkedIn user, shared that his friend Rishika received a formal warning from HR for using Instagram during work hours.

He posted the email she received, which outlined that she was also caught using Netflix, Naukri.com, and Ajio.com while on the clock.

The company's message to her stated, "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."

How people reacted

There were divided opinions on the post.

One user sided with HR, emphasising the importance of respecting company property and time, stating, "I think HR is right. It is not okay to steal things, even if they are small. It's not fair to earn money hourly but waste it like that."

Another commenter expressed empathy for the situation, saying, "Maybe it's a chance to revisit how to balance personal time and work? Hope it gets sorted out smoothly!"

Meanwhile, a more lighthearted response humorously noted, "Search volume for 'Babil Khan Interview' after this post ?"
