Amazon shows off "wellness cubicle" for overwhelmed staff to lock selves inside and scream

It won’t be 3 months before that is true.

How about, and I know I sound like a weird socialist European here, but how about a thing we could call a ‘break room’ where people could occasionally go and sit. maybe put a decent free coffee machine there or some fruit and snacks…

Utter idiotic idea of course, there can’t be any link to a person’s quality/quantity of work and the ability to take a little rest with some caffeine and sugar… (or a toilet visit for that matter.)

I read the notice as lock before entering which is pretty zen.

Turns out the bottom third of the door is transparent.

No, it was 8 Jeff clones at one of the infamous 2 pizza meetings. No further thought than that was given.

I imagine that the “Wellness Cube” has a trapdoor floor.

Socialism for the win!

Or a tool shed.

Obviously! And waiting at the bottom you’ll find some of these…

After all, everyone who gets in has already acknowledged their status as “defective work unit”, and will deservedly be upcycled as croc poop.

The best part about the Futurama suicide booth was when Bender used a coin on a string to try and cheat the payment system while trying to kill himself. As my son will attest, when I saw that for the first time I was laughing so hard I did fall off my seat.

Glass Cases for your emotions you say?

When I was still in school, I toured a law firm that was a potential future employer. There was nothing special about this firm. It was a small city - every law firm was potentially a future employer. I was not in a place to be picky.

Anyway, a junior lawyer showed me a small room they had set aside for relaxing if the day was too stressful. There was a nice reclining chair and some dim lighting and some candles. He then told me the junior lawyers jokingly referred to this as the “get-fired room” because anyone who was seen actually using it could kiss their long-term career prospects at the firm goodbye.
