That’s for someone to pump milk. Probably doesn’t get used much.
When you hear the buzzer, stare at the art. You should now feel mentally invigorated.
This looks like, and “Wellness room” sounds like, a gender neutral term for a lactation room.
The description in that Wikipedia article sounds much nicer and more elaborate than what we actually had at my last office.
Precisely what this is, with the added benefit (to the company) of being used as a prayer room or other various employee needs.
Converting storage to these private/meditation/wellness (corporation dependant branding for them) rooms has been very common.
Imagine the conflict when the woman who needs to pump breast milk and the man who needs to spread his prayer mat and pray meet at the door.
Although I guess it would be easily solved by him putting on a sleep mask. (Earplugs if he finds the squirt squirt of breast milk arousing or distracting.) Or if the entry door is on the East end of the room.
They are typically reserved rooms, so they would just select a different space to book.
Why would the woman want to pump in the room with a co-worker? Don’t know, feels like your trying to imply something about the man here. Or am I missing something?
Those do usually need a fridge and sink though. Not sure if it’s a code requirement, but all the ones I’ve seen had that.
Might be why the call it a ‘wellness room’, instead of a mothers room; doesn’t meet the legal requirements.
Maybe it varies state by state. This is what I found when looking for federal requirements:
a place, other than a bathroom, that is shielded from view and free from intrusion from coworkers and the public, which may be used by an employee to express milk
My former employer had a relaxation room that looked like this.
It was sound-proof and had a massage chair in it.
The door to the room was within direct line of sight of the boss’s desk.
I tried going in there once, but the boss called me over and gave me more work.
It was sound-proof
Ah. The Scream Closet.
but the boss called me over
Ah, the ol’ Sci-Fi classic: I Have A Scream Closet, But I Cannot Scream.
The first thing I did the moment I saw this was imagine seeing this in Portal, and hearing GLaDOS say something like “Welcome to the Aperture Science wellness room, where test subjects can de-stress after a long day of testing”
