There's a lot of livelihoods that do not involve offices or even working for a company out there in the world today. But I can understand how it seems that if you were raised in the United States and aren't either really poor or wealthy.
- Krasnol 7y agoI was not and it doesn't touch the issue at hand. Those employee wellness programs are being used as cheap place holder to cover up anti-social working conditions. Unpaid overtime and unhealthy working environment won't go away with Yoga. Even if it helps some to forget the actual issues, it doesn't solve them.

We need unions (or if that's a dirty word, some organization/democracy at the point of production) in order to ensure equitable society and also that people's contribution to society through their work & their productivity is adequately valued - that people are working because they see their place in the whole & on a voluntary basis - what's occuring right now is work based on fear and necessity, the false scarcity means people have to chose to put up with injustice at work in order to survive & the hours mean the working poor are mostly silent. Look at Finland, look at Norway.
