Every office has its rhythms—stand-ups, all-hands, status meetings, deadline chases. But at vCommission, we’ve added something a little spicier to the mix. Something that blends laughter, awkward truths, creative chaos, and a little friendly manager-roasting.
We call it: Keep It Casual.
🌈 What is “Keep It Casual”?
Every alternate Thursday, one department gets to ditch the formal, unplug from the spreadsheets, and enter the fun zone.
It’s our way of saying: “Hey, we see your KPIs… but we also see your love for nachos, your dream to be invisible in meetings, and your hilarious office pet peeves.”
From the moment the monthly activity calendar drops in our announcement group, eyes go hunting:
“When’s our turn?”
“What snacks are we picking?”
“Can we do a pyjama theme?”
You get the drift.
📅 How We Casually Plan the Fun
At the start of every month, something magical happens — HR unveils The Masterplan. It’s not a secret mission or a heist (though it might feel like one). It’s our monthly calendar, filled with upcoming activities and a surprise twist: which department gets to take the spotlight for the next “Keep It Casual”? Let the games begin.
Fast forward a few weeks, and voilà — the chosen ones receive a calendar invite. It’s official. It’s happening. There’s no backing out now. You’re booked for fun. And yes, it’s hilariously formal for something so casual. But we’re all about that contrast.
As the day creeps closer, the real debates begin. Forget strategy meetings — we’re talking snack wars and style choices. Samosas or brownies? Should we dress like we’re on vacation in Hawaii or attending a vampire board meeting? “Corporate goth” was once pitched. Democracy takes the wheel, and things get surprisingly intense.
Once snacks are selected with the seriousness of a five-star menu tasting and outfits are (over) analyzed like runway looks, it’s go time. We secure the room, curate the vibe, and brace ourselves for a session that’s part bonding, part chaos, and entirely unforgettable.
🧘 We Begin… with Zen
Hold up.
Before the madness, we meditate.
Yes, seriously.
Just a couple of minutes of deep breathing, eyes closed, centering ourselves. Why? Because we’re about to go from calm to chaotic joy real quick. It’s the calm before the storm of inside jokes.
🎉 Then It’s Game On: Casual Chaos Begins
Keep It Casual isn’t just about ditching the dress code — it’s a glorious deep-dive into the strange, hilarious, and unexpectedly heartwarming side of work life.
It starts with a bang: What’s your work superpower? Turns out, we’re all dreamers… and slightly dramatic. From wanting to mute colleagues mid-call to teleporting out of post-lunch meetings, the answers are bold, borderline concerning, and 100% relatable.
Then come the snack confessions. Dry fruits? Respectable. But let’s be real — most of us are three Mentos away from a sugar crash. And yes, someone is keeping a count.
And just when the vibes are getting cozy, we roast our managers. Lovingly. “He supports me through everything… but also steals my fries.” Of course, managers clap back. And HR pretends not to hear a thing.
Next, hidden talents explode out of nowhere. The silent designer beatboxes. The finance guy does tarot. Someone confesses to running a secret meme account roasting the entire team. It’s a full talent show and a low-key trust exercise rolled into one.
Then we spill the tea. Anonymously, of course. From pantry crimes to reply-all disasters, the grievances flow. The guessing game is savage. And yes, someone still heats up fish curry at lunch.
There’s sitcom energy too — everyone imagining their TV persona. From “the latecomer with zero guilt” to “the intern who secretly runs the place,” it’s less workplace, more Netflix pilot.
Shark Tank moments follow, featuring genius (and absurd) inventions like bots that auto-reply “noted” after 6 PM and coffee delivery powered by intern energy. Innovation? Off the charts.
We wrap it all up with a peek into the future. Anonymously, teammates share their goals — from mastering design to leading big projects, to just taking fewer screenshots of bugs. The vibe turns unexpectedly wholesome. Hugs may or may not happen.
That’s Keep It Casual. A little chaos, a lot of laughs, and just the right amount of emotional whiplash.
💡 But… Why Do We Do This?
Because team bonding shouldn’t feel like a checkbox.
Because real connections don’t just happen in status calls.
Because people who laugh together work better together.
Keep It Casual is our love letter to team culture, where everyone’s voice, weirdness, snack preference, and ambition matter.
The Real Impact?
-
- That awkward new joinee? Now has five new work buddies.
- That shy developer? Turns out they’re hilarious.
- That serious manager? Just got roasted—and loved it.
- The team? Feels like a team, not just co-workers.
🎊 The End… But Not Really
Keep It Casual isn’t about being off-duty—it’s about being fully present. It’s where departments turn into squads, where goals meet giggles, and where culture isn’t a buzzword—it’s an experience.
So the next time you see us meditating before bursting into laughter, just know:
We’re keeping it casual—vCommission style. 🎈
