TikTok competition | Staff urged to dance to win 'overtime' hours

In the workplace, it is not uncommon for employers to host staff contests or competitions to boost morale and connections within teams.

Yet, TheGamer reported that the American firm GameStop has announced that it is having a TikTok challenge among its stores where it is claimed that one of the prizes is ‘10 extra labor hours’ on Black Friday.

According to The Verge, the contest – which was first spotted by TheGamer – has since been removed from the video game company’s website following a wealth of media attention.

It has been reported that this contest was meant for “store leaders” and that the firm encouraged leaders to get colleagues involved in uploading a TikTok video of them dancing to a brief song as a team. They picked the #redwinechallenge.
