Work Hard or Work Out? The Irony in Work-Life Wellness Programs

Increasingly, companies are implementing work-life wellness programs to encourage employees to improve their health with healthy eating and habitual exercise.

Few employees question that their employers condemn them to piles of sedentary, often menial tasks. Hundreds of useless e-mails, endless unimportant forms, and boring meetings that do little other than assign more trivial work.

We are banished to stressful jobs, with endless work, and now we have another task: to improve our health.

The only remedy to the stress of accomplishing our endless to-do list, is to gobble a bag of Peanut M&M's  and hope that chocolate actually is good for your health.

Cheers.
