Microsoft techie reveals enviable perk that has netizens jealous: 'Your lunch break includes...'

Sometimes, it’s not just the salary, but also the perks you are offered at workplace that makes all the difference. A video shared by a Microsoft employee has gone viral on how she got a professional hair blow-dry at her office has made people sit up and take notice.

In the video, Shefali Garg was seen getting her hair blow-dried at the Microsoft office. In the caption, she wrote: “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 further highlighted that the company invests in employee well-being through a range of wellness programmes, professional development opportunities, thoughtfully designed workspaces, and a positive, collaborative environment. Garg noted that even a simple perk, such as getting a complimentary blow-dry at the office, can leave employees feeling relaxed, valued, and re-energised. She said these thoughtful gestures reinforce the idea that an exceptional workplace is defined not only by the work itself but also by the care and experience it offers its employees. Her Instagram profile indicates that she is currently based in Ireland, where the Microsoft office featured in her video is located.


The clip soon went viral, drawing widespread attention from social media users who were impressed by the workplace benefit. Many people said they wished their own employers offered similar facilities. One viewer enthusiastically remarked that the perk was incredible and jokingly asked for a job referral immediately.

Another user shared that they worked at ICON, located next to the Microsoft office, and humorously said they were tempted to sneak into the building during their lunch break just to enjoy the service.

The video also left several Microsoft employees surprised, with some wondering why they had never come across such a facility in their own offices. Others joined the discussion by pointing out that similar amenities were available at companies like Infosys.

Several viewers jokingly admitted that the video had motivated them to consider applying for a position at Microsoft, with one commenting that it was time to send in their résumé.
