I am not sure if the information in the article is accurate, but it sure is entertaining. If true, I think I have identified one of those management secrets which makes wizards from India such outstanding managers. Navigate to “Company Blocks Employees from Leaving Office: Now, a Clarification.” The write up states:
Coding Ninjas, a Gurugram-based edtech institute, has issued clarification on a recent incident that saw its employees being ‘locked’ inside the office so that they cannot exit ‘without permission.’
And what was the clarification? Let me guess. Heck, no. Just a misunderstanding. The write up explains:
… the company [Coding Ninjas, remember?], while acknowledging the incident, attributed it to a ‘regrettable’ action by an employee. The ‘action,’ noted, was ‘immediately rectified within minutes,’ and the individual in question acknowledged his ‘mistake’ and apologized for it. Further saying that the founders had expressed their ‘regret’ and apologized to the staff, Coding Ninjas described this as an ‘isolated’ incident. Coding Ninjas’ senior executive gets gate locked to stop employees from leaving office; company says action ‘regrettable…’
For another take on this interesting management approach to ensuring productivity, check out “Coding Ninjas’ Senior Executive Gets Gate Locked to Stop Employees from Leaving Office; Company Says Action ‘Regrettable’.”
What if you were to look for a link to this story on Reddit? I located a page which showed a door being locked. Exciting footage was available at this link on June 6, 2023 at this link. (If the information has been deleted, you have learned something about Reddit.com in my opinion.)
My interpretation of this enjoyable incident (if indeed true) is:
- Something to keep in mind when accepting a job in Mumbai or similar technology hot spot
- Why graduates of the Indian Institutes of Technology are in such demand; those folks are indeed practical and focused on maximizing employee productivity as measured in minutes in a facility
- A solution to employees who want to work from home. When an employee wants a paycheck, make them come to the office and lock the employees in. Works well and the effectiveness is evident in prisons and re-education facilities in a number of countries.
And regrettable? Yes, in terms of PR. No, in terms of getting snagged in what may be fake news. Is this a precept of the high school science club management method. Yep. Yep.
