An employee's leave application, with a "Mein to jaa rahi hoon!" subject line, went viral on LinkedIn. Social media users have commented that this is the best example of how "professionalism" and "personality" can coexist.
Somya Garg, the Gurugram-based CEO and founder of Talk & Target, shared a screenshot of the mail written by the employee named Kritika Singh, who is a Senior Copywriter at the firm.

Garg assumed that it was a resignation mail, but it turns out, Singh was just asking for a day's leave to head to the mountains. The CEO said in her post, "Signed off the email with 'Thanks cutiees. Bye.' In a world of stiff professional emails, this one made my week"
"In a world of stiff professional emails, this one made my week. Sometimes it's not just the work, it's the people you work with," Garg added.
It is believed that open, transparent and respectful communication is essential for a positive office culture. When employees feel comfortable and supported, they're more likely to be motivated and efficient.
