Staff get down to business in ‘deep end’ before using original poolside ladders to exit unusual temporary workplace, set up sparks humour online
A Chinese decoration company has sparked online controversy and amusement after it converted a drained swimming pool into a temporary office.
Staff get down to business in the “deep end” before exiting the office using the original poolside ladders.
The quirky set-up came to light after an employee from Luban Decoration Group, based in Chengdu, Sichuan province, southwestern China, posted a video online entitled “Swimming Pool Transformed into Office Space”.
The clip quickly went viral.
According to Cover News, the company’s gym, swimming pool and office area are all on the same floor. A glass door next to the gym takes staff into the so-called pool office.
