Warby Parker is the company that sells good-looking hipster glasses for about $95. The founders talkBloomberg Terminal a lot about workplace culture, doing good, and having fun. For the past two years, the company, which is private, has released an online annual report quirky enough to boost sales in the days afterward. This year, Warby Parker has gone all-in, illustrating and documenting the goings-on at the company day by day.

The report is set up as a calendar, and the designers have helpfully classified the 365 entries into eight categories, including class trip, culture, and milestones. There’s a category called data that includes lots of factoids and no financial information. You will, however, learn that 66 percent of Warby Parker employees use earbuds rather than headphones to listen to music.
