  Where I work, we haven't gotten to the mindfulness phase yet, but we're working on something called the "mood elevator". For a long time, I questioned why I hated it so much (as well as mindfulness), while finding value in basic concepts. Being aware at all times, keeping track of your emotions and trying to remain positive. I then had a breakthrough when I was looking at the (in)famous productivity vs. wages chart. All of these efforts are nothing more than an attempt to get us to work more without paying more. Rather than seek to identify the real issues in a work place, rather than seek to change your working culture, it's much easier to sprinkle your employees with positive pop psych shit and tell them they are empowered.
