Meditation for January 4th, 2016
Office Culture
Here at the Cracked Pot Meditations we have over 50 workers tirelessly researching the art and science of meditation. Every one of those workers has a workspace. We believe in making the workspace work for us so that we can be more creative and more productive.
No meetings
We don’t have any meetings. We don’t even want more than two people getting together to discuss work at all. Sure, yap about HBO shows and how racist your aunt is, but don’t all sit down and design anything. Meetings make people sleepy.
Pets
Everyone here at CPM is required to have a pet and that pet is required to come to work with you. Bob in accounting brings in his laberdoodle Stan. Letia in R&D has a boa named Daniel Ortega. Darlene in reception is so negative she only has a let rock named Jim Rockford. Sometimes pets fight each other. Remember, no gambling!
Meditations
Where would CPM be without meditation? We set aside six hours a day for mindfulness, stillness, and traditional meditation. We have rooms set up to look very Buddhist. We have a zen garden where people can rake lines around rocks. We have guided meditations in float tanks. We also have Ayahuasca Fridays. We also have a gun range for those that need to blow off a little steam. Sometimes Ayahuasca Fridays and the gun range don’t mix.
Work from awesome location
It’s one thing to work from home, it’s another to work from Mosul, Iraq during a fire fight. Studies have shown that working from hot, exotic, and dangerous locations produce much better results. Now imagine working in a fire fight in Mosul, Iraq on Ayahuasca Friday.
Fuck goals
We have lots of people that work here at the Crack that don’t have any discernible goals or purpose for drawing a paycheck, but goals just bogs down work. Goal keepers watch the clock and just stays stressed. The people that don’t have goals spend their days playing ping pong, playing Xbox, and shooting up the zen garden high on ayahuasca.
