The mental health of people who undertake mindfulness or meditation courses offered by their employer is generally no better than those who are not offered such programmes

    The director of my department just announced a new initiative starting this year for something similar.

    Once a month, we now have a two hour meeting where we need to prep and present a five slide PowerPoint to our peers. The slides are focused on project status, work accomplishments, personal development, a life update, and mandatory feedback given to one of our peers in front of the group.

    So not only am I forced to share details of my private life to a bunch of people that I hate in a fucking PowerPoint, I have to single someone out with one thing they’re doing well and one thing they can improve.

      Is there any explicit requirement that this presentation contain truth?

      If you do this right you could build up an amazing false personal life.

        All of this is so generic as to be useless.

          Or, it’s so generic as to be applicable to any job.
