Weird Wide Web - And the best boss award goes to... | News Article

A boss has been hailed as an absolute legend after he surprised all of his employees with a barbecue and pool party on one of the hottest days of the year.

During one of the hottest days of the year in the UK, a boss decided to give all his employees a paid day off and throw them a pool party.

A ladbible article, reported that Stuart Houston, a boss at a roofing company, setup the car park of HG Roofing Supplies in Leeds with pools, folding chairs, music, games, a barbecue feast and beer.

As Dylan Foster turned up to work, expecting to be toiling away in 33C heat, he started filming.

The video shows two pools full of inflatable toys, burgers and sausages getting ready over the grill, and co-workers enjoying themselves. There was even a game of badminton taking place between two of his colleagues. After Dylan shared the video on TikTok, it has been viewed nearly two million times and received loads of comments from people wishing that this was their boss.

Dylan explained: “When I turned up to work I thought it was a photoshoot at first from the outside. “As I walked in it was like something out of Love Island with the swimming pools, barbecue and music with inflatable palm trees.”
