I would agree. I was pleasantly surprised with how my company handled the pandemic. I knew going into the job that they had a reputation for treating their employees well, but I saw it first-hand with how they handled work from home, letting employees be flexible with time, letting employees take home equipment, and a million other little things. (We have a huge manufacturing footprint and quite a few place-dependent workers in other areas. I’m unsure if they are as happy as most of the work-from-home crowd, to be fair. I just don’t interact with that part of the org)

Because of how well they have treated us, I see the occasional advertisement for yoga classes or meditation sessions as a perk I’m not interested in, instead of as a symptom of a poor workplace environment. However, if I felt constantly overworked, under appreciated, and under-equipped, each one of those emails would definitely feel like a slap in the face.
