Insomnia in my ass

you're not missing anything, you paid attention in chemistry.

Sigh

Farm feedstock.contain all the nutrients an adult cow needs, including a wide range of vitamins (including A, B, D, E, K), essential fatty acids and taurine, without the need for grass. Although obligate herbivores in the wild, domestic cows still need nutrients they would normally source from vegetation. Thankfully farm feedstock contains all those nutrients in a bioavailable grain.

grain is a professional cow food, created by grain manufacturers in 50,000BC, formulated and checked by independent animal nutritionists to meet the AAFCO(USA) and FEDIAF(Europe) guidelines for animal nutrition.

We've had safe and healthy variants of cow food for 52,000 years. Trying to elevate the question to animal abuse speaks entirely to personal ignorance.

Eta - modifying the diet of a domesticated animal for your convenience seems to run contrary to the premise of minimising animal cruelty.

Fwiw I think that the people you're discussing this with haven't had the same experience in the workforce that you have had.

"Words mean things" - inspired. I think I'll have a t-shirt made.

Have an awesome day, you're a top bloke with a lot going for you.

Man the projection is wild here. Have a good one mate. You're welcome to visit Australia any time, you'll fit right in.

Sure mate. Have a good one.

I think he got a bad read and people aren't aware of context.

It was a finance meeting. think about how you'd justify why you're spending money on creches doctors and nurses when you're a mining company. It doesnt make sense right surely you'd want explosives and dump truck drivers . So you go to explain it.

• OK so what were trying to do is make work attractive to be here in our offices because we believe that people on-site are more productive

• we have parents who want to work with us but they have commitments outside of work so we realised that we could maybe take away some of the need to service those commitments

• parents have kids and need childcare, so we solved that problem for them by providing a creche

• our staff need to go see doctors or nurses, so we solved that problem for them by providing a clinic

• our staff like to socialise over food and coffee, so we set up restaurants and cafes in the building

• all these things cost money but you know what, it balances out because they're on-site and being productive as a group

• why do we need them on-site - because we believe people to be more productive when they work together. We've said we want you in all day every day, we're trying to make it possible for this to happen.

I know it's about as human as a thrown axe but people are resources. Companies exist because of their people. I actually respect that he's open about this and I can tell you, this approach would appeal to a lot of young families in Perth. It's hard to get childcare and hard to see doctors.

To be honest this isn't a massive departure from the various other non remuneration incentives offered by companies wanting you to be there in person. Silicon Valley has offered this forever. Gyms, cafes, holiday programs for kids etc.

People have different motivators. I don't mind being in the office frequently. I work my hours then clock off. I find it easier to switch off from work when I leave work.

Some people will value it. If you're not one of those people, don't worry, you don't have to work there. It's pretty simple.

My experience with stressors is that they are relative, and they scale to fit the available worry. I'm stressed about work, but from personal experience I have been just as stressed about being unemployed or about school. Therefore the stress is the common thing - if it is common then adjusting to the stress is more productive than avoiding the stresses.

Hence meditation, exercise, meaningful relationships, etc.
