GTA 6 has Logitech telling its 7,000+ employees to log off and game for a day
The tech company is handing its employees an extra paid day off as "Grand Theft Auto 6" comes out. It argues that video games makes workers better.
Logitech, a company known for producing video game hardware, is making waves by encouraging its 7,000+ employees to take a day off and play video games. The tech giant has introduced a new perk called "Logi Game Day," allowing workers to choose any game they wish to play, whether it's Grand Theft Auto 6, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, or World of Warcraft: Forever.
This initiative comes as gaming companies are releasing a flurry of popular titles this month, leading to a surge in employee requests for paid time off. Logitech argues that gaming can actually boost employees' work readiness, citing surveys where gamers reported that playing enhances real-world confidence. The company's general manager, Robin Piispanen, believes that taking breaks to recharge and have fun is essential for maintaining excellent performance.
Piispanen, a former competitive gamer, will host a community streaming event at the company's San Jose headquarters on the day of the Grand Theft Auto 6 release.
