Workers: How about this? Better salary, fewer hours.

Big execs: Noooooo ANYTHING BUT THAT! 😭

"But paying you more doesn't increase our mental well-being!"

#1 thing that improves worker mental health is not being at work...

I run my own small business. I complained to my boss about burnout, but it was me, so I'm fucked. ;)

Maybe you should implement a wellness program.

Why you have downvotes I think not even the ones giving them know but anyway keep on keeping buddy!

Boss told me to work overtime this week. Said the shop was a bit messy and the floors won't sweep themselves. I told my boss to fuck off and made him sweep instead. Somehow I still lost.

This is what I told my friends and family when I started my business. I had just left a very toxic workplace that was full of verbal and emotional abuse at the very top. I said now when my boss yells at me I can tell them to fuck off and I won't get fired for it!

I didn't read the article, but from my experience, if you're inundated by workload then you won't have time for extracurriculars.
