Richard Branson caught an employee sleeping at the Virgin Australia office



I popped into the office and the airport to say hello and check in to see what the team are up to. This guy wasn’t up to much at all – I caught him sleeping on the job! Wow, did he get a shock when I woke him up. He must have thought he was dreaming because he went straight back to sleep. To be fair, he was on standby, getting some much needed rest.

Arianna Huffington (HuffPo) removed the blinds in her office so that she could set an example by employees seeing her taking naps.

... take a selfie with the sleeping employee to embarrass him with later.

Hey, who wouldn't do that?

It was okay, as I had been working the night shift, but I sure didn't go right back to sleep.
