A LinkedIn post by London-based entrepreneur Dan Murray is striking a chord online after he shared 12 reasons why employees should “always leave office on time”.

His message emphasises work-life balance and the importance of not letting professional life consume health, relationships, and personal well-being, reported Hindustan Times.

In his note, Murray described work as a “never-ending process” and urged employees to set boundaries. Concluding the list, he wrote, “When you care for yourself outside of work, you'll be a better contributor to your team overall. Don't sacrifice your well-being for work.”

One user commented, “Love this… long hours might look like commitment, but they often erode the very qualities that make work great. Boundaries, rest, and time for life outside the office are what keep people energised and creative.”

Others echoed similar sentiments, calling the post a “reminder for sustainable success” and a “manifesto for healthy ambition.”
