More than 7 million views have propelled Talia's mock Netflix-style trailer into a viral hit after she used it to ask bosses Frank and Jack for 10 days' leave to visit Bali.
The video framed a routine holiday request as a suspenseful documentary teaser, with Talia building up to the ask and ending on the unresolved question of whether the answer was yes or no.
Frank and Jack appeared nervous on camera and joked about whether they needed to reply in the same documentary-trailer format, but the clip did not reveal their final decision.
Online commenters praised the effort and humor, with some saying the production alone deserved approval, while the video also sparked wider discussion about playful, social-media-driven workplace culture.
Is this viral video a harmless stunt or the new blueprint for Gen Z's professional communication?
