And you know someone had to give up their weekend to produce a video about getting one day off.

This could’ve been an email

For real. My agency gave us a day off too. The CEO wrote a nice email and that was it. No need to turn it into shareable content.

Was this just a day off on March 22? They closed their offices so late!

Officially closed March 22nd, it started on the 15th.

First of all, that hashtag #neverfinished 😅 no wonder we need an H day

Lmao that whole video so they could tell the company that they were getting one day off? Jesus

I liked the video. Thought it was a nice gesture.

I’m just busting chops here. The gesture is nice. If it was delivered in a 15 second video no one would blink. I think a self-serious 2:17 video to announce a single day off leans into the “long walk for a ham sandwich” trope.

To be fair, they didn’t spend much on it. It looks like it could have been done in PowerPoint.

Second of all, talk about gratuitous. A long winded over the top cliche emotional video just to promote a day off. They’ve really validated the saying “what do you want? a medal?”

Pros: 50k bump, company is full remote, no time tracking software, unlimited PTO, 10k in quarterly bonuses, vertical move in responsibility and title, will set me up for future roles in different companies with the title I am looking for (so strategic move)

Cons: Its a startup, the solution they offer is adjacent to my desired industry, its a very small team so I wouldn’t grow my network as much, tech stipend for new laptop (but they don’t provide a work one)
