TIL more teams support mental health days now
This change helps me handle stress better. Do you see similar trends where you work?

Worry it's just a band-aid for bigger problems.

Oh man, my old company sent out a "wellness webinar" link the same week they announced another round of layoffs. Really makes you think about their priorities.

Yeah, that "band-aid for bigger problems" feeling is real. My last job gave us meditation apps while cutting project timelines in half. What actually helped was a few of us, like @dakota_burns83 mentioned, calling out the mismatch. We pushed for real talk in team meetings about workload, not just apps. It forced them to move one deadline and hire a temp, which was a small win. Sometimes you have to point at the band-aid and ask them to actually fix the cut.
