Amazon is being roasted for sharing a video of its “AmaZen,” a phonebooth-sized box where employees can go to “focus on their mental wellbeing.”

If they were such slave masters I highly doubt the drivers would be stopping me masse a mile from the warehouse.
Is that like going and crying in the walk in cooler?
