It’s like cutting music programs from school. Poor babies, now those 200, 000 dollar per year employees wil have to pay for their own massages like the rest of us.

OMG! What is the world coming to? I worked in Big Pharma and I counted myself extremely fortunate if I had a chair that wasn't broken. Honestly.

Imagine needing a massage therapist for sitting down and doing nothing but watching videos on YouTube, , what a joke 💀

[ryanbarker]

'okay, i know it's easy to make snide remarks at this point....' yes, yes, it is, and it's entirely fair game and, let's face it, pretty well-deserved.

[eastbaykidd]

Well, this is certainly one story that won't have a happy ending...🙄

if these techies would have actually worked instead of making videos for social media to see the lack of work done, they would still have jobs. but they showed us how they only work for about 30 minutes and then play and relax all day.

Lol. No more wine bar and yoga at work.

Does anyone believe that prices will go back to what they were before all this happened ?

[patriotsakaalsalazar]

Wow! Needing a massage after not doing anything at all. I guess being on your butt the whole day watching youtube is pretty hard.
