Encouraging Complete Disconnect
In the LinkedIn post, Meesho emphasized the need for its employees to disconnect from work during this break. The company urged staff to avoid engaging in work-related activities, including using laptops, checking emails, or responding to Slack messages. “We’re heading into our 4th consecutive company-wide ‘Reset and Recharge’ break,” the post read. “After the efforts put into this year and our successful Mega Blockbuster Sale, it’s time to fully unplug and focus on ourselves.”
Employees are encouraged to take this time to recharge both mentally and physically, with the goal of returning refreshed for the year ahead. The post continued, “No laptops, Slack messages, emails, meetings, or stand-up calls, nothing work-related for 9 days!”
