The CEO of Airasia, Tony Fernandes, has drawn criticism for showing up to a virtual conference without a shirt on while receiving a Massage.

In an earlier this week LinkedIn post, Fernandes praised the virtues of AirAsia’s workplace culture, which enabled him to receive a massage concurrently with a management meeting. The act was slammed as being unprofessional by several in the comments section, too.

In the caption, he wrote, “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.”

“We are making big progress and I have now finalized Capital A structure. Exciting days ahead. Proud of what we have built and never have lost sight of the finish,” he added.

So far, the post has gotten 703 responds, 96 comments, and 42 reposts. A lot of people expressed how “inappropriate” and “Lunatics material” they thought the post was in the comments section.

“After the meeting, you could have gotten a massage. One person commented, “I don’t think this seems appropriate in a civilised culture.”

“I don’t think the women in your company would feel comfortable or safe in this context, and given you’re the boss, they likely won’t challenge you or say anything,” remarked another user. Please pay attention to the comments you removed from this post for their sake. Although it’s obvious that you’re a thoughtful leader who cares about culture, this isn’t the best strategy to establish a secure and encouraging one.
