Billionaire Richard Branson drops in on Virgin staff – finds employee asleep (photos)

It's one thing to be caught sleeping by your boss at work, one thing to be woken up by your boss and definitely another thing when your boss is Richard Branson.

Billionaire Founder of Virgin Group, Richard Branson went to Virgin Australia Headquarters at Sydney Airport to meet cabin crew and stumbled across a snoozing member of staff and Branson says the guy was so shocked when he woke him up that he went back to sleep again.


Branson joked:
‘This guy wasn’t up to much at all – I caught him sleeping on the job! Wow, did he get a shock when I woke him up. He must have thought he was dreaming because he went straight back to sleep.’ 
‘To be fair, he was on standby, getting some much needed rest.’ 
‘I love to get out there and meet the people that make our brand shine. Maybe it’s the glorious Southern Hemisphere sun or the salty sea air, it seems like our Aussie team members permanently wear infectious smiles.’

  19. Obviously there is some misunderstanding about what being on standby means, as a flight attendant. He was getting rest while on standby for his flight. I.e. he was not on active duty. He was not doing anything wrong.

  21. Virgin Atlantic airways is not gone. We are still flying into/out of Nigeria. Kindly disregard all the rumours please. Richard is a great guy. Down to earth. There are many bosses around in this great country as well. Bless them all. JAD
