Mindfulness

  I had this job once that I hated. It was a hotel job at a place that had a satisfaction guarantee that basically rewarded people for feigning or in some cases manufacturing problems with their rooms. Simultaneously, corporate was obsessed with online reviews.

  They rewarded people for complaints and made this central to their branding, and punished the staff for complaints from guests. And they kept rolling out new initiatives that basically boiled down to “here’s more shit to do on top of your existing work. It’s supposed to make guests feel more welcome, but really it just makes your life harder and gives karens another attack surface to complain about.”

  And they were constantly remodeling so guests could gripe about that too.

  Place was a masterclass in how to incentivize mistreating employees.

  At one point, they must have noticed that their employees had garbage morale, so they mandated a webinar on mindfulness, to be completed during work hours while also completing existing duties. This was my introduction to the concept.

  As a way for an abusive employer to pretend they care about employees.

  I very often find the real world too real, to the point it is surreal because I can’t not be mindful of what I am doing and just how fucking weird human society is.

    Driving leisurely through a nice lush valley? God what a marvel of engineering this crumbling manual 1994 Kia shitbox is. Driving is so calming. Radio off, windows down, I want to hear the birds and the terrible engine. I don’t even care that second gear doesn’t bite anymore. This is nice.

    Driving in start stop traffic? God I hate how we’ve defaced our planet, our home, just to enrich these blood sucking oil companies. The Ottomans and the French built railroads and streetcars here during our servitude. And what did we do with that silver lining? Tore it all out to sell more cars and petrol. For shame. All of these people’s lives are measurably worse from wasting their lives on the road.

    Driving at a normal speed in a normal area with people driving around me at normal speed, pedestrians, street lights, traffic cops, nobody is crashing, I’m not crashing, I’m barely even thinking about doing it? bro what tHE FUCK WHAT

    Human society is quite an abstract concept though. To be being mindful means focusing only on what you’re experiencing in that very moment almost like you’re seeing it for the first time. And without evaluating it in any way but just observing.

  Don’t get too mindful tho, or you will be sad about being enslaved.
