We stick to our word. Just an hour ago, the Slush Team just had the most intense planking session we’ve ever had at the Supermetrics office. While we won on turnout, they beat us in athleticism. Well played. As a reward, Fygë provided refreshments to keep the team motivated 🍇 🫐🥙 Other than our planking session, the rest of our team was busy preparing for our Fall Offsite at a mystery location. We’ll let you know tomorrow where we end up going and what our agenda is. Otherwise, we hope you’re having a warm Tuesday afternoon ☀️
