Intern receives stern warning from HR for sleeping in office premises: ‘Valid hai bro'
An intern shared an HR warning on Reddit after being told not to sleep in the office.
Employees often receive reminders from HR about meetings, policies, or deadlines, but one intern’s email stood out for a very different reason.
The intern (@Parking_Pressure6991) shared the email on Reddit, where it quickly caught the attention of users for its unusual tone. The HR notice, titled “Office Discipline,” came with a clear warning: “Avoid sleeping in office premises."
HR issues strict conduct reminder:
In the email, HR reminded the intern to “kindly maintain office discipline” and noted that the matter had been discussed earlier as well.
The email stated that the organisation expected full cooperation in following the rules and warned that repeated non-compliance could lead to termination of the internship.
"Please note that continued non-compliance may lead to termination of your internship, and you may not be eligible for an internship completion letter," the notice further reads.

The email listed a few more points that intern was expected to follow. These included avoiding sleeping within office premises, not entering restricted areas such as the terrace, remaining at the desk during working hours, and handling office equipment with care.
While it is unclear what prompted the reminder, many Reddit users found the situation both amusing and relatable.
