In a world where hustling past curfew is often celebrated, one simple message is making waves: “It’s getting late log off.” That’s what an Indian boss, working abroad for a foreign company, reportedly told an employee after 7 PM and the internet couldn’t get enough. 

Shared in a Reddit thread, the anecdote painted a refreshing picture: no shame in logging in late, but firm boundaries when it comes to taking time off. One person described their daily rhythm: wake at 11 AM, log in by noon, cruise until 5 PM and if there's reason to stay longer, the boss calmly reminds them it's late and encourages them to wrap up. 

This candid reminder struck a chord, especially for Indians used to late-night pressure, weekend work, and “always-on” expectations. Users flooded the comments, expressing envy, admiration and a sense of how rare such empathy feels in many workplaces. 

The story has broader resonance. It challenges entrenched beliefs that long hour’s equal success, suggesting instead that thoughtful leadership can protect well-being while still expecting results. In an era where burnout is often glamorized, this boss’s four-word line is a bold counter-message.

Maybe that’s the real takeaway: sometimes, the simplest reminders spoken with respect can shift workplace culture for the better. Here’s hoping more leaders say, “It’s getting late log off” before it’s too late for our peace of mind.
