And then there's that miraculous time you do get ready in 15 minutes, allowing yourself to believe you could achieve that again on purpose.

Firefox has a button that shows up in the url that kind of turns the webpage into an e-book-esque view that pops up for most articles (especially Pay Wall)

The point of Salary is so they don't have to pay for overtime. The slave labor is the purpose, forcing people to work more than 8 is just a nice little cherry on top ☺️.

It's okay guys, the party of small government would absolutely never encroach on abusing their powers!

It's mid February and I'm in the Midwest. In other words, we're still comfortably in winter and I'm in an area of the US known for having freezing winters.

The high for today is 74°F (23.3°C) . Outside of the polar vortex the US got which did eventually get us to -10°F (-12.2°C), I haven't seen us even approach freeing since then.

When I go running around the neighborhood this time of the year, I'm usually in layers, not in tank tops.

If the company actually means it

There's the key phrase. I've worked at 5 different places during my professional career. Not once has any "wellness seminar," "wellness week," or wellness-what-have-you has been as fruitful as you're describing.

I've never gotten a wellness day nor a bonus for wearing a pedometer or being active in any manner. At absolute best, in all the places I've worked, I went to an optional meeting that had an interesting breathing exercise. But the rest of the meeting was dumb fluff like "don't work more than 40 hours," "tell your lead that you are over stressed," "don't spend money on stuff you can't afford."

Absolute worst case scenario so far, a week of mandatory 1 hour meetings each day required from HR. Every day was repeating the same garbage as above and could've just been an email. Also, even though HR requires the meetings, your manager still requires 40hrs of "project effort." Meaning required overtime. I did not stay long at this job.

Something like what you are describing would be a breath of fresh air.
