A Thread post showing a staff member fast asleep on a work desk has unexpectedly turned into a debate about labour rights, Gen Z work ethic, and even legal representation for cats.
Yes, cats.
“Hire staff properly” post sparks instant attention
The OP shared a photo of an Oyen apparently taking a very deep nap on a desk while on duty. Along with the image, the caption read:
“Salam, next time please hire staff properly. This one is just collecting salary for nothing.”
The post quickly gained traction on Threads, with Malaysians doing what they do best online. Picking sides within minutes.
Netizens accuse Gen Z or show sympathy
Some commenters were quick to label the situation.
“This must be a Gen Z staff.”
Others felt more sympathetic.
“Poor thing. Must be tired from working day and night. Please don’t fire him.”
At this point, the comment section had fully evolved into a courtroom drama starring a sleepy orange employee.
Company responds with calm professionalism
Not long after, the company behind the viral staff member stepped in to clarify the situation.
“The staff in the picture often works overtime. Maybe he just took a moment to rest. Please understand 🙏🏼”
A polite response. A supportive boss. And an employee who is simply recharging.
As of now, Oyen has not issued a personal statement. He continues to sleep peacefully, possibly preparing for his next overtime shift.
Some heroes wear uniforms. Others are orange and nap on desks.
