Most people spend their lunch break stepping out for food or taking a short rest during work hours. But a Microsoft employee in Ireland showed a very different way of using that time, which has now gone viral online.
In a video shared on Instagram, she showed how she used her break inside the office for a quick professional hair blow dry. The clip has caught attention for showing a workplace perk that many people say they would happily try.
A Lunch Break With A Salon Touch
The employee, Shaifali Garg, posted the video showing her getting her hair done inside the Microsoft office. After the short session, she is seen returning to work with her styled look, giving viewers a peek into the office facility.
She shared that the experience is one of the small things she enjoys at her workplace. “POV: Your lunch break includes a professional blow dry. One of the little perks I genuinely love about working at Microsoft! It’s not just about the technology or the exciting work. It’s also about creating an environment where employees feel valued and can take a moment to recharge.”
She added that such small breaks help employees feel refreshed and supported during the workday.
Focus On Employee Comfort And Wellness
In her post, she explained that the company also offers wellness support, learning spaces, and a comfortable work environment. According to her, these small services make a difference in how employees feel during long work hours.
“It’s moments like these that remind me that a great workplace is about more than just work,” she added. She also mentioned that the office shown in the video is based in Ireland, where she currently works.
Social Media Reacts To The Perk
The video quickly gathered attention online, with many users reacting to the unusual office benefit. Some were surprised, while others said they wished their workplace had similar perks.
“That is so amazing. You need to refer me right now,” a user commented.
Another wrote, “Wow! That’s amazing! I work at ICON just beside your office. I would sneak in during lunch hours.”
Some users asked about the availability of such services in other Microsoft offices. “Which Microsoft office is this? Why have I never found this in mine?” a person asked.
Others reacted with humour, with comments like “Wow! Dropping my resume,” and “Microsoft, please take me.” A user joked, “BRB, scheduling a few work days from the Ireland office!”
