“PLEASE GO HOME!” This is what a tech company is messaging it's employees shortly before the end of their shifts.

Tanvi Khandelwal, who works at SoftGrid Computers in Indore, India, was surprised to see a message telling her to leave work on time.

Shweta Shukla, SoftGrid’s co-founder and chief executive, said she and her partners saw the initiative as a way to prioritize necessary breaks and maintain an overall work-life balance among their 40 employees, who would often stay late to meet client and office demands. Shukla said she and her partners chose the pop-up method to reveal the notification to their employees since it was “more fun and engaging than an email or memo.”

However, the LinkedIn post was met with mixed reactions from other tech employees across the platform. While many praised the initiative, some users raised concerns regarding the varying work hours of different employees, and said an “inflexible work ethos” could create pressure to meet deadlines or work on weekends.

This will never be in America. Corporate greed is to high. Btw this is in India.

Republicans, bow down to your corporate Masters 🤣

As opposed to go elsewhere?

So?

Yes. BUT still need work to be done...

“its” 😬

Seems like a good idea but if it's NBC reporting it's probably not true

this is what paid overtime does to a mf

they can't play mame now

Maintaining work life balance. It’s very good indeed.

No. No. This is not ideal. What's ideal is the flexibility to have my daytimes to do as I need and then also work at night to resolve anything not completed throughout the day. This idea forces me to work in a constrained schedule. No thanks.

I LOVE this!!!💛

Also please stop calling me, I know you are not really Bob from Utah

you don't have to ask me twice!

This is what our young people need. A message that it is ok to unplug and go home and take care of yourself and your family.
