A Gen Z employee has gone viral after creating a hilarious video for his out of office message. 

Joshua Kessel, who works for Sydney-based start-up Butter Insurance, clearly decided that a simple email wouldn’t cut the mustard. 

Office workers around the world look forward to the satisfaction of switching on OOO before a well deserved vacation – but as Josh works in marketing, he decided to take things one step further. 

In a viral video that now has more than eight million views on TikTok and Instagram, Josh put his creative skills to use. 

The Butter Insurance Instagram account said: ‘Our Gen Z marketing guy set this as his out of office.’

They added: ‘I wish this was a joke but he’s not even here to make this a video.’
