These questions range from simply asking for permission to go on a trip with friends to which investment/insurance plan is best, which several dads answer in their unique way.

    Unstop will also unveil a short video of what  according to Unstop employees their dads think they do at work. In it they ask their dads, “What do you think I do at work?” The responses are authentic and hilarious, sure to spark a nostalgic trip down memory lane about your conversations with your dad.

    Through its engaging campaign, Unstop celebrated the spirit of fatherhood and aims to bring out the humourous yet profound wisdom that dads impart in their unique ways. Remember to wish your dad a very happy Father’s Day and maybe ask them  “What do you think I do at work?”
