“Just imagine you’re eating lunch at the office and as soon as the clock moves one minute instead of 30, your boss says ‘Now work one hour for free in the evening.’” Yes, that dictatorial rule that sounds like a movie script is currently causing a stir on social media. A widely circulated official notice has sparked outrage among employees online, imposing a bizarre 60-minute “free work” penalty just one minute before their lunch break.

The company’s dictatorial order is spreading quickly on the Internet

Currently, the company’s official notification is going viral on social media. In this notice, employees were instructed to “eat quickly” and a very strict penalty was prescribed for prolonging their lunch break. However, the company to which this notice belongs has not yet been confirmed.

What is the strange rule of notice?

The company scheduled 30 minutes for lunch. The rule was made that if your lunch break exceeds 30 minutes by even one minute, then in return you will have to stay and work at the company for one hour without money after 6 pm. This means that if someone takes a 31-minute lunch break, they will not be able to go home at 6pm and will have to involuntarily stay until 7pm. At the end of the notice it says, “Eat faster.”

There was an uproar on social media

This notice posted on June 22 has been viewed by more than 1.4 lakh people so far. Two types of discussions have erupted online regarding this matter. People who speak out against this rule say it’s a bad example of “micromanagement.” It is completely wrong and illegal to offer one hour of work for free in exchange for a one-minute delay. One user wrote… If so, the company should also give one hour extra pay for working until 6:01 p.m. Another user wrote: If you want the company to advance, stop behaving this way with employees, because it has a bad effect on the business.
