Niharika, a member of Zomato ’s strategy team in Gurgaon, took to X to share a screenshot of the prank message that was sent by her colleagues using her Slack account.

“Never leave your laptop open at work,” she wrote in the caption while sharing the screenshot of the message on X. 

The message reads, “Hey guys, sharing a life update, getting married in February. Please keep 5 PM free for a small brownie party,”

The post has crossed over 1 lakh views on the social media platform X. 

“Lol, this happened with me as well. My colleagues even sent an email,” wrote X user Naresh Silla.

“They used to do this at my first job too! If we left our laptop unattended and open, colleagues would prank each other like this. It was used as a strategy to ensure we locked our laptops and client data was protected at all costs. Worked really well in shaping habits tbh,” recalled Veni Gupta.

“Have fun... Make memories with them. Not all are blessed with a fun team!” one X user advised.
