Employees targeted by workplace wellbeing efforts are employees that need to be retained, almost always because of limited availability (see software). Let's no kid ourselves into thinking that in 2021 a software engineer will go homeless if they lose their job.

Software engineers can go bankrupt on healthcare costs alone. Either for them, or their family. Losing a job on top of high healthcare costs can force bankruptcy.

That, my friend, is called a privilege and a filter bubble.

I envy you how you have no idea how many devs are almost literal slaves. Not me, but I know plenty.

[belval]

That statement does not make sense, if the devs you are referring to have no work mobility why are their employers even doing "workplace wellbeing"?

[pdimitar]

To deflect responsibility and employee resentment to other people. They don't care whether their almost-slaves are happy at the workplace but they want to maintain the status quo because even for them, losing devs and retraining new ones is costly.
