Merger, from Friday 28th of June 2024

Join GM Seb Byrne and his crew as they play Merger by City Square Studios

Attention valued employees! Mark your calendars for **Friday 28th of June**! It’s time for a mandatory staff training exercise led by our esteemed CEO. 

At our company, we pride ourselves on a workplace culture of caring, learning, and synergy. But remember, failure to meet our company standards during these challenges will result in termination. Consider it motivation to bring out your best selves! 

We expect to see laughter, camaraderie, and a dash of mischief as our challengers navigate the balance between work and life – both work life and life of work. Remember:

  •  Attendance is mandatory.
  •  Appearing happy and excited is mandatory.
  •  Laughing at the CEO’s attempts at commoner humor is mandatory.
  •  Lack of synergy will result in demerit points.
  •  Too many demerit points lead to termination – at the CEO’s discretion.
  •  No mentioning the staff BBQ at the water park – this will result in immediate termination. 

Looking forward to seeing you all there! Let the games begin!  #StaffTraining #ChallengeAccepted #CompanyCulture
