Burned-out employee frustrated over company’s new $50k “wellness pods” purchase, after company refuses to hire new staff to lighten their employees' heavy workload, instead demanding they take a nap and get back to work: 'They sell it like it’s a benefit'

The wellness craze has washed over our generation like a tidal wave. Powerfully present. Looking calm at first, but then suddenly it was the only thing that surrounded us. It's been inserted into our drinks, our workouts, the even the way we read and write. They tell us, 'If you're feeling overwhelmed, grab your journal,' or about how their 'Life has changed since I started meditating each morning.' …Endless techniques and methods, yet not entirely the perfect problem solver for everyone!

The moment that 'wellness living' starts to get controversial is when my peace is used as an excuse to avoid productivity, or in this case, do the exact opposite! This understaffed company refuses to hire new staff to take the heavy load off their current employees' shoulders…but instead, they decided to invest that money into buying $50k 'wellness pods' for their overworked, exhausted employees, to take a quick 20-minute nap in and get back to work! Their excuse is that it's beneficial, but we know that it's truly just a cop-out to continue taking advantage of their staff's time, energy, and productivity!

The most annoying part is, we can already predict how their ‘little naps’ will be some manipulation tactic, to see who ‘gives up’ the quickest. The wellness and corporate world just don't gel, and we're not entirely sure it was ever meant to. Work is for the office, and sleep is for our homes, let's keep it that way…
