Zerodha co-founder and CEO, Nithin Kamath has come in the line of fire after he revealed that his company was launching a "fun wellness programme" that supposedly encouraged employees to improve their fitness levels. As part of the program, staff members were promised rewards for losing weight. A fitness enthusiast himself, Kamath had taken to Twitter to announce that Zerodha employees with a BMI under 25 would receive an additional bonus of half a month’s pay. The tweet read, “We are running a fun health program at @zerodhaonline. Anyone on our team with BMI <25 gets half a month's salary as a bonus. The avg BMI of our team is 25.3 & if we can get to <24 by Aug, everyone gets another ½ month as a bonus. It'd be fun to compete with other companies” We are running a fun health program at @zerodhaonline. Anyone on our team with BMI <25 gets half a month's salary as bonus. The avg BMI of our team is 25.3 & if we can get to <24 by Aug, everyone gets another ½ month as a bonus. It'd be fun to compete with other companies 1/3 — Nithin Kamath (@Nithin0dha) April 7, 2022 According to the CEO, the average BMI of Zerodha’s staff is 25.3, and he challenged them to bring it under 24 by August in order for the employees to reap the promised benefits. The initiative was intended to be a part of the ‘World Health Day’, which was on April 7. Kamath said in his tweet, “The lowest average BMI or the largest change in average BMI wins. The winner chooses a charity everyone else contributes to. Maybe a health tech company can run the initiative. If you want to do this at your company, do post in the comments. Happy world health day.” PS: I know BMI isn’t the best measure to track health & fitness, but it is the easiest way to get started. With health & most other things in life, the most important bit is to get started. Btw, walking 10,000 steps daily is a great start if you've been wanting to get healthy 3/3 — Nithin Kamath (@Nithin0dha) April 7, 2022 He did issue a clarification regarding the parameters of the program in a subsequent tweet, “PS: I know BMI isn’t the best measure to track health & fitness, but it is the easiest way to get started. With health & most other things in life, the most important bit is to get started. Btw, walking 10,000 steps daily is a great start if you've been wanting to get healthy.” However, it seems as if Nithin Kamath may have missed the mark with this initiative, as the internet’s fury unfolds upon him. On the micro-blogging site, this user tweeted, “Wow rewarding people for being skinny is not the type of fatphobia I thought I'd wake up to but not surprised”. But another Twitter user contested that claim, stating, “There's no phobia here. Stop whining and start getting healthy. I'm also trying to lose weight.” There's no phobia here. Stop whining and start getting healthy. I'm also trying to lose weight. — Eddie (@pussymonious) April 8, 2022 This commenter felt Zerodha’s initiative to be problematic, as they wrote, “This is serious discrimination and body shaming. There is nothing 'fun' about your program. Why should my pay or a bonus be linked to my body type? The only thing relevant is my work.” Their opinion was met with an almost immediate retort from another Twitter user, who said, “All work and no play makes one a dull guy/girl..Ever heard of work-life balance? If the employer cares about the quality of life his fellow employees, what’s wrong with it?” This is serious discrimination and body shaming. There is nothing 'fun' about your program. Why should my pay or a bonus be linked to my body type? The only thing relevant is my work. — Divyaroop Bhatnagar (@debubhatnagar) April 8, 2022 Amidst the chaos, there seemed to be one particular user who tried to explain to Zerodha’s founder, the error of his ways. She said, “Hey Nithin! I really appreciate the effort of incentivising and gamifying health for employees. But the same blanket goal for everyone can be a problematic strategy since it, at a lowest risk level, can make people associate their worth with weight or size.” She continued the thought in a linked tweet, “And at the worst, can even lead to eating disorders or mental health issues. I'm a corporate wellness coach working extensively on health at every size. I could help with better goal setting to be more inclusive and less problematic goals.” Whatever be the intention, it seems like Kamath and Zerodha would face some trouble digging themselves out of this faux pas.

It's all good folks! Everything remotely related to science, health, and research studies regarding sexual wellness points to the fact that having some time for self-pleasure is actually a great thing for you. This means that you no longer need to consider the process of self-pleasure a taboo! © Istock And it looks like your office might also think the same! Or at least some workplaces in the world. That's right! According to an adult website and social network company called Stripchat, its employees should be provided proper opportunities to masturbate during work hours. According to reports, Stripchat has even gone to the extent of providing all the facilities needed for their employees to ease themselves properly. The company has reportedly ordered custom-built ‘w*** pods’ so that their employees can masturbate comfortably. © Stripchat As per Daily Star, the company has introduced the four high-tech pods kitted out with “masturbatory accessories” at its workplaces in Cyprus, with over 200 employees working at the particular branch. The high-tech pods are equipped with several accessories in order to help out the employees. Surprisingly, it is also equipped with an Oculus Quest VR headset and a 4K LED screen, so that the employees can enjoy live VR adult cams. © Twitter Not only that the pod also has a good stock of lotion, lube as well as tissues. © Istock The employees of the company will get to have 30-minute breaks to masturbate during work hours, with the company stating that its goal is to ‘provide current and attract new employees with a safe, comfortable space to rub one out. Now, in case you're wondering why your office doesn't have something like that, there may still be hope for you. According to reports, Stripchat is also offering other companies a chance to lease out its pods for up to $50,000 (Rs. 37,00,000) for six months. This includes adding a VIP subscription to its platform. So, what are you waiting for? It might actually be a good idea to suggest something to your company head, no? We wish you luck!

I like to think of myself as a nice, decent and hard-working employee. But obviously, my boss sometimes has conflicting opinions from time to time. In fact, even on days that he does agree with me and lauds me for my work ethic, the furthest he’s come to expressing his gratitude is by saying ‘not bad’. On the other hand, in Kerala, a businessman who treated an employee like a partner for serving his company for 22 long years, showed his gratitude towards his loyalty with a brand new Mercedes Benz. Kerala businessman gifts Mercedes-Benz SUV to employee of 22 years https://t.co/Oa89QFwaPH — Ravindran Nair G (@RavindranNairG1) February 11, 2022 AK Shaji, the owner of digital retail store MyG, is clearly an ideal boss to have, because the idea of retaining an employee for him isn’t limited to a mere bonus, but by making a grand and shiny gesture. CR Anish, who has been working with businessman Shaji for the last 22 years, was ecstatic and received one of the biggest surprises of his life as Shaji bought him a Mercedes-Benz GLA Class 220 d. He wrote, “Dear Ani... For the last 22 years, you are there for me as a strong pillar. Hope you loved your new cruising partner.” View this post on Instagram Shaji went on to further share on his Instagram how, “We are partners, he is not an employee. I am very happy. It is a proud moment. Ani has been with me for the last 22 years. Let’s hope we can give more cars to our partners this year.” Shaji gave this surprise to Anish at a company event for MyG employees and their families, where he presented the black luxury SUV to Anish and his family. Anish had been working closely and for more than two decades beside Shaji. He was involved in the marketing, maintenance and development units of the company and was truly a pillar that contributed to the company’s success over the years. Employee of 22 years is gifted a @MercedesBenz: https://t.co/YuIHuVVwR5@moneycontrolcom #Kerala #FeelGood stories — Viju ചെറിयन (@vijucherian) February 10, 2022 And what is even more surprising is that this wasn’t the first time Shaji gifted an employee a car. Turns out, two years ago, Shaji gave 6 of his hardworking employees a car each. Talk about having the best boss ever! View the full article
