"In one of its most dystopian moves yet, Amazon is introducing tiny 'Zen' booths, where overworked warehouse employees can momentarily escape a job so grueling that many workers say they don't have enough time to use the bathroom."

Given the fact that the source of stress and anxiety for many Amazon workers is the work environment itself, this is essentially like offering a first aid station to get bandages after your boss attacks you with a machete. https://t.co/WOAWJJ3v60

Danny Boyle's Sunshine is my favorite movie, I was fascinated by its meditation/earth room. But that was a sci-fi movie. This is something that's going up instead of addressing unsafe work conditions where people die on the job. This isn't the answer. https://t.co/bLAwCVU9aW

A lot of mindfulness rhetoric is anti worker and this was the natural endpoint. I thought the CIA meditation room was, but this is it https://t.co/7P3XawYAWh

When it comes time to name this period of American history I think "The Indistinguishable From Parody Era" would do a pretty good job capturing our present historical moment. https://t.co/eZOo7fowSy

How about increasing your warehouse employees' wages and allowing them bathroom breaks? I heard that making not enough money to eat and wearing diapers while at work may increase stress in people. https://t.co/C2WUGbynlB

OH NO THEY DIDN'T. NO NO NO NO NO. What reduces stress are fair wages, normal breaks, social time, and time to recharge, but not like A Clockwork Orange. This is batshit bonkers. https://t.co/X9gIoxBqHV

"In the now-deleted Twitter video, the pod can be seen to have just enough room for a chair, small computer table against one wall, and a few small potted plants on shelves. The top panel was painted as a blue sky with clouds."
