Squirrel ‘mail’ causes chaos in Meta’s Bangkok office


What was supposed to be a mundane workday turned chaotic when a squirrel ended up at Meta’s office this week, running wild and causing chaos for at least 20 minutes.

The critter was delivered to Meta’s office in Bangkok inside a package and it somehow escaped, bi-monthly American tech magazine Wired reported on Wed­nesday, citing an internal Meta memo.

It is not known why the animal was mailed to the company but the package was received by a janitor.

The memo did not detail how the squirrel escaped but the animal scratched a janitor’s finger, causing a minor injury, before it was caught.

The janitor “responsible for bringing the animal onto the premises” formally acknowledged their misconduct and committed to following office regulations to ensure “such an incident does not recur”, the memo added. — The Straits Times/ANN
