you know what companies should add to their perks and benefits? a cleaning stipend. or extend their wellness perks to including cleaning services. my mental health would greatly benefit more from a clean house than a treadmill.
FULLY agree! I had worked at a company that offered a "lifestyle" budget and they didn't have any rules around how you spent that. It was just $200/month for you.
Ah, the daily negotiation upon waking. I know that well. Thank you for sharing this - the idea of balance has always made me 🤨 "I think, ultimately, we should stop feeling less at war with ourselves." - such a good takeaway.
Your list of permissions is so real.

My hot take is wellness stipends could be spent on whatever you want. The dopamine hit of buying new shoes counts as wellness.

$200/month is way more generous than I’ve seen for perks!

Thank you for putting into words my tired brain could not put into words... What?
