    Sleep is sooo important you guys. And science says exercise is actually really good for you. Make sure to get lots of natural sunlight. Take time for you. Have you considered journaling?

    Anyway here’s my website and a link to a book that I wrote (digital only). Thanks for the $8000 and have a blessed day!

        “All my life I had been told money doesn’t buy happiness. Then I realized the people who were saying that were the ones with all the money. So, I figured they were trying to hide a good thing.” -Tony Curtis, Operation Petticoat

      We literally had a coach type woman give a webinar where she spouted all of that crap and a healthy dose of “have you tried not being depressed”?

      Luckily we’re not in the US and workers dare speak up and raised hell until the company leadership apologized (not that we believe it but hey)

    Better yet… invite a cheesy motivational speaker who part times as a used car salesman and a crypto bro

      I legit had a “motivational speaker” come in and tell us how the metaverse was literally changing society for the better and how we should all be fully invested in crypto. No shit, deadpan told us that, when Bitcoin was at 60k.

      That was the largest waste of time and company money I have ever seen. So so so many back channel chats about how stupid it was.

        Our upper management paid for consulting a while ago and that consultant was similarly peddling bullshit numbers how much interest there is for the metaverse. Of course, from a survey conducted by that consulting company, so you couldn’t even check their methodology etc…

        Well, and upper management felt this was so insightful that they made a company-wide announcement with those numbers.

        Thing is, we’re an IT company. It felt like a quarter of all employees commented under that announcement, that this did not match up with their own observations at all.
        Basically, management got scammed and fell for it wholesale, when they could have just talked to their employees.

    Screw that, I’m just taking a later lunch then. If they don’t like it, they can take it up with the Department of Labor to see what they think of making employees attend a meeting during their breaks.

    Just another way business downloads costs into it’s employees. Can’t improve working conditions with W@H, vacation, sicktime, work load, shorter hours or pay raises. Instead everyone gets $1.00 a pay taken off for the EAP program so they can watch webinars on mindfulness in their own time.

    Rubbish

    They don’t see an opportunity to reduce employee workloads, just employees.
