I was invited to a "wellbeing lunch session" that took place during... lunch. No time to eat, no time to breathe. I think good intentions sometimes create more stress. What is the most misguided wellbeing initiative you have seen?

I mean, at least you got free lunch? Lol. We once had upper management insist on having a yoga hour for all the employees, and basically made it a soft requirement to attend (because they spent a lot on the instructor). This would've been fine, but it was not at all accessible for a lot of our employees, and it caused many people discomfort and frustration. That was a huge… Learning opportunity for all involved.

Haha free lunch only helps if you actually get to eat it! Forcing yoga on everyone sounds just as stressful as the work it was meant to relieve. Classic case of ticking a box instead of listening

Really, no lunch provided? Whenever we had lunch sessions, we always provided a box lunch.

Cutbacks in nhs .. no more lunch provided. Bring your own
