EXPLOYEES struck gold after their generous boss jetted them off on an all expenses paid “working holiday” to neck cocktails by the pool.
Colleagues at the marketing firm were also spoiled with yoga sessions and chowed down on fresh seafood as they traded in their stuffy office for a luxury villa in Bali, Indonesia.
For a whopping 14-days in May, the Aussies gave a new name to remote working as they hit the mountainous Ubud region for a teambuilding and wellness extravaganza.
They even bathed in ethereal waterfalls, explored the wonders found under the waves on a snorkelling trip and got in touch with their daredevil side on quadbikes.
And it was all thanks to Katya Vakulenko, the big-hearted boss of Sydney-based Soup Agency, who said the trip was aimed at raising morale.
The legendary boss said the two week extravaganza also allowed them to take different working approaches to “the next level”.
She explained: “I think it’s important for workplaces to all work together as a team, both inside and outside of working hours.
“Covid-19 taught us that there are new ways of working and essentially, we can work from anywhere. So we decided to really take that to the next level.”
But it was not all beers and skittles as work formed a vital aspect of the trip, too.
Digital Marketing Executive Kumi Ho said despite the obvious distractions, the team were able to stay productive.
And they even managed their workloads well on the notorious party island.
“It was definitely an experience in life that I won’t forget,” she said.
The agency have already started planning their next “working holiday” – this time to Europe.
Around 400,000 Brits visit Indonesia each year.
Many hit Bali to soak up the laid back beach vibes, guaranteed tropical climes and world renowned surf spots.
From dream bosses to dream jobs, Australia is offering workers more than £4,000 a MONTH for just six hours a day.
Labourers could be taking home shedloads of cash as fruit pickers in Australia.
But incredibly, no one wants to take it up amid a major shortage of staff – so fruit is simply rotting away.
