Yes mindfulness etc, but it just doesn't come across as genuine.

Among the pros and cons of mindfulness, the biggest negative they find is that it’s a great way to turn your employees into more efficient cogs.
I feel this way about every company that tries to teach their employees about mindfulness (lots of FAANGs do this as well)… they want you to be able to de-stress, not because they care about your well-being, but because they want to increase your tolerance for stress, and thus your expected productivity.
In other words, it is deeply unsettling cult behavior.
You no longer need to do all this crap to look sophisticated in front of your co-workers, you can just, say, pick your nose and contemplate on the gradual change in texture as you rub it between your thumb and index finger.
I'm all for mindfulness, but you don't need any fancy techniques or rituals, and you most certainly don't need to pay a subscription for it.
