"We're going to start taking some wellness measures for them, because we know they could all use some". This hasn't been a culture in my workplace for the last 3 years ... would you think this is just a PR move rather than a genuine concern for our well-being? To me it feels like an attempt to distract us from other underlying issues, like the recent layoffs we had or maybe even upcoming heavier workloads. How would you see it?

There have been employers who have used mood trackers and wellness apps to basically spy on their staff and find out who might be easier to let go. I am completely suss on any data collection inside the workplace about anything to do with my wellbeing.

An EAP delivered by qualified psychs has to remain confidential and is nearly always a third party not in with the employer. The employer just gets a department and a bill, not names and tea.

I’m suspicious of the EAPs too specially in small departments

What does this mean? Wellness measures for the workplace or for the individuals in the workplace. If the latter this feels like a huge violation of health privacy

My company gave everyone a subscription to Headspace during COVID and called it a day…

It's fair that you have your doubts but I wouldn't think in that way. It does seem like they care about employee morale and welfare and are just taking the steps they need to take to get there.

PR lip service. Probably a lawsuit floating around that this kind of virtue signaling will help with

100% a planned obligatory response to distract from layoffs. Whether that’s for PR or for genuine concern for well-being doesn’t really matter because nothing can really make up for losing your livelihood 👎

Hi All,

I joined a competitor company due to toxic boss in June 2022 which my previous company has got idea about and have still not recieved F&F money and experience letter since 3 months.
In the offer letter it was written that I am prohibited to join competitor company after resigning but I got to know from sources that such contracts don't hold any relevance. I am waiting for 10 more days as HR told me it is in process and then planning to file complaint in labour court. Suggestions please?
