At vCommission, we believe in celebrating every occasion with zeal, creating moments of joy and appreciation for our team. This International Men’s Day, on November 19th, we planned a day filled with fun, games, and recognition for all the incredible men in our workplace.
We threw down the ultimate style gauntlet: formals, only to crank up the excitement! The men were challenged to suit up, strut their stuff, and compete for the title of best dressed. It wasn’t just about the competition but about swagger, charm, and showing off their unique flair. Think James Bond vibes with a sprinkle of office swag!
And because we believe in spreading the love (and laughs), we had a little something extra planned. The ladies in every department got creative, writing sweet, funny, and heartfelt notes to their male colleagues. The idea? To make them feel like absolute rockstars for the day—because seriously, why should girls have all the fun?
As the day’s meetings ended, the buzz of anticipation on the floor was undeniable. The Men’s Day celebration was about to begin, and the excitement was palpable.
We started with everyone moving around the floor, exchanging hearty “Happy Men’s Day!” wishes. The smiles, handshakes, and laughter created an upbeat vibe that instantly set the tone for the rest of the day. It wasn’t just a greeting but a moment to connect, appreciate, and gear up for what was to come.
With the mood set, it was time to roll up our sleeves and dive into some good-natured competition.
The first challenge was hand wrestling—where the most muscular men from each team squared off to prove they weren’t just good at lifting coffee mugs. The room erupted with cheers and wild support as these contenders locked hands, ready to unleash their inner superheroes. It quickly turned into a battle of strategy, muscle, and well, lines like, “You’re going down!” echoed from the sidelines, followed by enthusiastic (and possibly not very helpful) tips like, “Just, uh, use your hand!” After a series of sweaty, grunting, and dramatic rounds, the final winner was crowned, walking away with a victory and enough bragging rights to last until the next competition. It was pure chaos, and we loved every second of it!
Next up was the push-up challenge, which wasn’t just about strength and stamina—it was about making push-ups look way more astonishing than they have any right to. Forget regular push-ups! Some participants were throwing in claps like they were auditioning for America’s Got Talent. In contrast, others mixed in wild variations—one-arm push-ups, knee-slap push-ups, and even “I’ve lost all dignity” push-ups. The crowd was on fire, clapping, laughing, and probably questioning their fitness choices. It was part workout, part comedy show, and all fun. The whole thing was a blast, and we may need to start charging for tickets to next year’s show.
To wrap up the games, we dove into the classic tug-of-war—an actual showdown of teamwork, strength, and who had the most brawn (and maybe a little bit of rope-burning strategy). The guys split into two teams, each one determined to drag the other into defeat. With every mighty tug, the floor erupted in cheers so loud you’d think we were witnessing the final moments of the Olympics! The energy in the room was contagious—people were on the edge of their seats, shouting, laughing, and probably wondering if the rope was about to snap or if the guys would pull a muscle.
As the teams gave it their all, the room buzzed with excitement. The mix of laughter, encouragement, and that “let’s win this” spirit made the competition feel epic. It wasn’t just a tug-of-war but a reminder of why we love being part of this team. By the end of the day, everyone was grinning, high-fiving, and walking away with memories they’d be laughing about for weeks.
What’s a celebration without cake? Ours was a total showstopper—a customized cake with glasses and a moustache, looking ready for a fashion show. It was quirky, stylish, and so on point you couldn’t help but grin. The cake was the cherry on top of a day full of laughs, games, and way too much competitive spirit.
After devouring it (obviously), we gathered for a group photo because why not capture this masterpiece? And then, the grand finale—the Best Dressed award. The winner strutted up like they were on a runway, ensuring everyone knew they were the real MVP. A stylish end to a fun-filled day with just the right amount of flair!
This Men’s Day wasn’t just about the games or the cake (okay, maybe mostly the cake); it was about taking a moment to appreciate the fantastic guys at work who keep everything running smoothly and look stylish while doing it.
