Japan: If you’ve ever worked at a firm with a pointless long-hours, bums-on-seats mentality, you may want to applaud this idea from Japan.
A firm has unveiled a drone which hovers around buildings looking for workers doing overtime – then hovers over them blasting them with music until they go home.

The ‘T-Frend’ plays ‘Auld Lang Syne’, which is often used in Japan to announce that shops are closing.

Norihiro Kato of creators Taisei says, ‘You can’t really work when you think ‘it’s coming over any time now,’ and hear ‘Auld Lang Syne’ along with the buzz.’

The drone patrols office floors on a pre-set path, looking for workers putting in extra hours – then strikes.

The firm hopes to sell the drone as a service, starting in April, with prices set at ¥500,000 (£3,295 a month), reports the Metro.
