Oliver worked at a tire shop for eleven years before posting a video on TikTok saying he hated his job and wanted to sail the world. He didn't realize TikTok had auto-synced the video to all his contacts, including his bosses and coworkers, until it went viral at his company.
My name is Oliver. I work a corporate job at a tire shop. I absolutely hate this lifestyle. I'm going to buy a sailboat and I'm going to sail around the world.
That was the very first video I've ever taken, ever. And I never used TikTok before. I didn't know how social media worked, but I put it in as a draft. I ended up posting it. I didn't know that. Also, TikTok syncs with everybody in your contacts, so it went to all of my bosses. I was there for 11 years, and it went to everybody that I know, and it was shared within the company. Did I show up to work the next day, totally oblivious to what's going on?
And then one of the, like, the.
Tech comes up to me. He's like, hey, man, what are you gonna buy that boat? I was like, what in the world are you talking about? And I text my brother and he, like, replies. He's like, now's the time. Without that video, I don't know if I would have had the courage to quit. I went viral on the day that I left. That video is what went viral. That video is everything.
