Logitech is giving its employees a day off to play video games. Grand Theft Auto VI just happens to launch this month.
If you were thinking about calling in sick on November 19, you’re not the only one. Logitech just announced Logi Game Day . It lets staff take a paid day off to play a game of their choice.
You don’t have to take it on launch day
Logitech isn’t forcing anyone to log off for GTA VI. The perk covers everyone from full-time employees to interns. The day can be used any time between now and this time next year, and staff can pick any game.
That said, Logitech doesn’t hide where it expects some of that time to go. A company spokesperson said staff who spend it exploring Vice City at launch won’t hear “any complaints from us.” CEO Hanneke Faber plans to take her own day on November 19. She’ll also join a company streaming event at the office, which will be turned into a gaming lounge.
