I know my expectations of worker rights are skewed by living in a country that isn't America, but that's what annual leave/sick leave/mental health leave is for. If, after all that, work is still unbearable, there's a bigger problem with that specific workplace.

You shouldn't be taking sick leave daily. You (arguably, not everyone's cup of tea) should be dropping out of work to focus on mindfulness daily.

It isn't at all clear this reflects bad workplace conditions. It could be innovative.

I agree, but if you're feeling tired or overwhelmed, taking a day off is in everyone's best interest, and I don't think standing in a vertical coffin for a few minutes is an adequate alternative.

Why would this be presented as an alternative to taking a day off if people are tired and overwhelmed? I don't think it is for people who have mental health problems - on the basis that it wouldn't help, so Amazon wouldn't waste money on it if that was what it was for.
