Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Ok but also just like pay for me to have therapy and/or let me go spend time with people I actually like. I don’t really want wellness initiatives, I’d take more care of myself if I had more time to

Every minute you’re at work you’re under their control - and we all know how much management likes to give up control. If employees could be chained to their desks they’d do it in a heartbeat for “revenue and efficiency improvements”.

"What's this about liking actual people outside of work? Does that mean you don't like your coworkers? That sounds like you're not much of a team player. We'll have to note this in your permanent record."

Those are the wellness initiatives at my work. Taking vacation and stepping away is encouraged, so is using your sick time to go to the doctor. I've never taken part in the third party therapy stuff, but it's offered and free to employees & their families

But I realize that isn't the norm.
