My company installed “wellness pods” instead of hiring more staff
My company just installed “wellness pods.”
These are little sleep and meditation capsules you can crawl into when you’re burnt out.
They made this big announcement like it’s the next innovative perk.
This woman and her colleagues are all burned out at work.
Here’s the kicker.
We’re burned out because they refuse to hire more people.
We’re understaffed and constantly stretched thin.
Now, instead of fixing the actual problem, they spent $50k on high-tech nap coffins.
So we can recharge and get back to the grind.
She thinks it was not a real solution.
I was taking a smoke earlier on my balcony while playing a few games on Grizzly’s Quest on my phone.
I couldn’t stop thinking about how dystopian it is. Like, “Hey, we know we’re working you to exhaustion.
So here’s a place to shut your eyes for 20 minutes before we send you right back into it.”
This is what corporate wellness has become.
Sleep at work so we can work more, and they sell it like it’s a benefit. Unreal.
