Some jobs come with great benefit packages and others are are just fun. At least one work place was able to get the male employees cardiovascular systems jumping.The Audrey Underwear Company in Taizhong City, Taiwan, named November 21 “Camisole Day” in order celebrate record sales. Much to the delight of their male employees, all 500 female employees were encouraged to wear lingerie to work to celebrate.
More than 90% of the female employees went along with the idea and worked all day in their undies.
The company PR manager, Huang Bihui, stated “We introduced eight new camisoles into market and sold more than 20,000 in less than two months so we named the 21st as Camisole Day.”
Zhang Yufeng, 32, a mother of two, admitted: “I have been on a strict diet to get ready for the day. When I was trying on my outfit at home, my husband told me I should dress like this every day.”
And Liao Wenshen, 30, added: “The men were red-faced all day, and were becoming so polite to us. It’s so funny!”
There have been critics, but company lawyers assert that as long as participation was voluntary, it’s not illegal.
Wu Juanyu complained: “Some women may feel forced to join in because of peer pressure and job competition. I don’t know if the company is selling underwear or women’s bodies.”
The only perk I ever had at work was a 401K.
HAHA wow…
