Standing desks are old news, that’s according to a prominent tech start-up based out of a hot desking share space in Betoota’s Old City District.
Deliveridoo, as it is currently known, is purported to be Australia’s number 1 ice cream toppings delivery service. And on top of allowing their casually-employed staff to bring their small-sized dogs to work, they are now also ahead of the curb with several other workplace perks.
One, a free subscription to Slack, Dropbox and any other software programs required for work.
Two, ladder desks.
A natural evolution of the standing desk, The Ladder DeskTM has gained popularity recently due to purported health benefits, though there is no good medical evidence such benefits actually exist.
“It’s really good for my calves” says local apptrepreneur, Rowan Fairfax (27).
“Sure it’s cost a bit of money, but the returns are usually fucking epic – when it comes to health and wellbeing. I’ll send you some articles”
“It’s a bit like Deliveridoo. Getting this thing off the ground has been pretty costly and dad has been pretty skeptical. But like, the Ladder Desk, when people finally cotton on to what it is, and what it provides, it’s, like, basically free money”
“I’ve carved off a pretty specific part of the market and the projected outcomes have been measured up against the optimised algorithms of several channels that cater to an easily disrupt-able demographic of key audience behaviours”
“I’ve just got to find a developer”
