Top(less) Perks: AirAsia CEO sits in board meet getting a massage; trolled on social media

AirAsia CEO Tony Fernandes shared a picture of him sitting shirtless on a chair and getting a massage while attending a management meeting in a conference room. However, the agenda of the post on networking platform LinkedIn was to appreciate the work culture of his company. “Was a stressful week and Veranita Yosephine suggested a massage. Got to love Indonesia and AirAsia culture that I Can have a massage and do a management meeting,” said Fenandes, but his post has been drawing criticism from netizens who said it seemed “inappropriate”. It is the picture shared alongwith the post by Fernandes that has become the talking point. In the picture, the AirAsia CEO can been seen seated comfortably on a chair during a management meeting, sans a shirt, while receiving a massage. “We are making big progress and I have now finalised Capital A structure. Exciting days ahead. Proud of what we have built and never have lost sight of the finish,” Fernandes wrote further in his post on LinkedIn.
