A woman’s unconventional way of asking her bosses for a holiday has gone viral on social media, with millions of users praising her creativity and sense of humour.
Instead of writing a formal email or planning a routine office conversation, a woman named Talia decided to request a vacation via a Netflix-style drama trailer. The video, which has now crossed over 7 million views online, shows her requesting a 10-day leave from her bosses Frank and Jack to go on holiday to Bali.
The now-viral clip unfolds like a documentary trailer, complete with dramatic questions, tense pauses and nervous reactions.
