This is actually legally mandated in Sweden for all workplaces with more than 50 employees - there must be a room present with some kind of affordance for lying rest. It must also be possible to darken the room completely. Its stated purpose is to facilitate temporary rest for workers.
A siesta is a multi hour thing though and those people work mornings and evenings. So the total work day is very long. It’s mainly because during the day it was too hot to work.
I wish break rooms with sleeping facilities were more common. A quick nap would be so much more helpful than a gallon of coffee.
a friend interned at a FANG company, fell asleep in one of the noise isolation pod chairs in the hall and missed most of a day.
he still got hired after his internship lol.

Unfortunately we all know what they would actually be used for.
Sounds to me like we need another room.
Also a great way to decompress on a lunch break
It’s a public facility for employees so I’m sure most people wouldn’t try.
It’s not a bad idea. In Romania and France I’ve seen beds in relax rooms, or unfoldable couches. They were quite a hit with employees taking a nap.
Getting raises?
Yeah but every good thing is used for some bad purposes too
That shouldn’t stop people from implementing or putting good stuff in the right places
Having some beds in a break room would be great for the corporate people
not being so overworked would be nicer
What if you drool a lot? asking for a friend
Just bring your own pillow
No no, you can’t have any wealth afforded to the working class, that’s communism /s
For anyone who thinks this seriously go read The Gospel of Wealth and don’t @ me.
This is some “battered employee” type shit to say.
Get a load of the guy who has never heard of siestas
All David_Eight was alluding to was that my employer isn’t the best. Why the hate?
Probably forgot to take their siesta.
Get a load of the guy who thinks saying get a load of the guy is hate
I think they were probably talking about the downvotes XD
Then why reply to me? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Because you can’t really respond to a downvote.
Yes but you can respond to the person being down voted, not a reply to that person. And for the record I didn’t downvote them

I’ve found a 20-minute nap to be game changing, no matter your occupation or love for your job. It just works.
