Positive Affirmations at Amazon

Fun fact: did you know that after every hour of work at amazon the computer taunts you with a 30 second break where you say mantras that help you come to peace with your own exploitation? Mind Moment: Positive Affirmation 0:00:19 Technique • Repeat these phrases during each expansion of the crate • Even in chaos, I can feel peaceful • I notice the good • While socially distant, I am emotionally close

A monitor in an Amazon warehouse displays a timed “Positive Affirmation” exercise telling a worker to repeat calming phrases during crate expansion. The joke is that a supposedly supportive mindfulness break is actually forced workplace propaganda, encouraging employees to accept their own exploitation. It is used as a reaction to absurd corporate wellness programs and exploitative working conditions.
