My company actively encourages people to not over work. The CEO shot down a nap room because it implies people should stay longer.

True! Smart move: did it work?

[kelukelugames]

No, instead we nap at our desks like real engineers!

Just kidding. :) This story re-affirmed my decision to join the company.

"Shot down" means that he said no, he dismissed the idea.

By asking "did it work?", I think zz1 is asking if dismissing the nap room idea resulted in people not staying longer.

I misread "shut down" instead: thank you for correcting me. Still: people respond to incentives and turning down an idea like that and letting the employees know that… this is an incentive and it may have lead to some results. So the question still stands.
