In today’s world of formal office messages and strict work emails, one woman’s fun and unexpected leave email has taken social media by storm. A viral LinkedIn post shared by the founder of a company shows how a simple request for time off became the talk of the internet.
The subject line of the email read “Main to jaa rahi hoon”, a Hindi phrase meaning “I’m leaving”. For a moment, her employer was shocked and confused, thinking it was a farewell message. But it turned out to be a simple leave email requesting a day off to head to the mountains.
The post was shared on LinkedIn by @Somya Garg - CEO and founder of Talk & Target - and quickly caught attention for its humour and dramatic tone. The email was sent by Kritika Singh, a Senior Copywriter.
