What started as a light-hearted addition to a topical calendar ended up redefining Mondays for an entire office. At Yoho, a seemingly innocent move by an intern—adding “Leave the Office Early Day”—sparked a chain reaction no one expected. What began as a joke quickly snowballed into action, and suddenly, employees were logging off at 3 PM on a Monday. No meetings, no Slack pings—just silent desks and surprised smiles.
Albia Siddique from Yoho took to LinkedIn to narrate how it all unfolded. While reviewing the month’s topical calendar, she noticed the quirky entry and decided to roll with it. The post went live. Someone cracked a joke—“Should we actually do it?” The joke gained traction. Soon, it became a genuine pitch to the founder. And in just an hour, HR gave the green signal: “Cool. Everyone logs off at 3.”
The result? A quiet, empty office by 3:01 PM—and possibly the best Monday of the year. What began as a tongue-in-cheek calendar note became a reminder of how spontaneity, fun, and a little rule-breaking can lift workplace spirits. A big win for the intern initiative.
Internet reacts
The internet had a field day reacting to the intern-led early log-off at Yoho. Many praised the refreshing approach to workplace culture, with one user applauding the company for recognising that productivity isn’t about clocking long hours but maintaining balance. Another joked about wanting to apply to this "intern-powered utopia." Several others chimed in with witty takes, calling the intern the “best employee of the year” and imagining how powerful they must’ve felt that Monday. The overall sentiment? Pure admiration—and a touch of envy.
