This tech company is giving its employees a half-day vacation so they can sleep-in after 'Game of Thrones'
HBO
The Season 6 premiere of "Game of Thrones" airs on April 24 at 2 a.m. in the UK to coincide with the broadcast of the show in the US.
Sharing a screenshot on LinkedIn of the company's online employee handbook, +rehabstudio operations director Emma Willis wrote:
When your company slips you an extra morning off work to recover from a #gameofthrones binge you know you've hit the jackpot. Didn't expect that in the company handbook this morning! Thank you +rehabstudio for all the #perks :D Enabling a lie-in after a 2am air date is one of the many reasons I love you.. Now all I have to contend with is my toddler. Ha!
As well as detailing the additional half-day morning vacation for all the company's 68 UK staff, the handbook warns: "US staff are reminded not to share spoilers on the intranet until after the show has aired in the UK 24 hours later."
