    It’s funny to me that people do not understand why receiving a 10-15 min massage at their place of work once per week is cost-effective. As a former massage therapist who now does medical billing, I’m pretty sure I’m qualified to break it down for you: Not counting accidents, one of the most preventable injuries in the workplace is a RSI: repetitive strain injury. This usually takes the form of carpal tunnel or something similar, depending on your form of work. This is not limited to white collar desk jobs. RSIs are also found in factory workers that do shiftwork on machinery. The cost for carpal tunnel surgery can range from $4000-$8500. That’s pretty conservative and that’s just the surgery. That isn’t counting time missed from work for recuperation, time missed from doctors appointments related to initial treatment and follow-ups from the surgery, physical therapy and time missed for those appointments, etc. That’s several thousand dollars at the cost of your company’s Worker’s Comp. And that’s just if you have one hand operated on, but many people have to have bilateral carpal tunnel surgeries. This is for one person, one relatively simple outpatient surgery. This isn’t counting the strain on the other workers who may have to work to cover the absence of their colleague, which can result in additional money that your company has to pay out for overtime. This doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of the effects that the added stress can put on the other workers, potentially causing missed work on their part. Now add all of this up in your head, and ask yourself if the $20-$30 massages that a company might pay for each employee once a week is not cost-effective.
  • Why bother comparing how stressful one job is to another? Everyone has a stressful day here and there. All jobs are stressful. Everyone should be able to do something like this to relax. That's what the video is trying to say, that this service is cost effective for anyone.

    I like how the head honcho said,"They do feel it's worth the cost." As though, he is still has reservations about the program and the cost.

    I love this video, just watching it distresses and chills me out. And I would love something like this when I do visual effects work when sometimes I think I'm literally going to be end up frozen up at the computer! :) And to some of the people who have complained about it, well I've worked both white-color and blue-color jobs so though I understand what both are like I don't get on a high horse about anything. If people are working people are working as far as I'm concerned. Good work UrbanChill and Dreaming Fish Productions.

    I love how on youtube people could probably take a video about magical unicorns and fairies and devolve it into an argument about class warfare/structure. It never fails to impress.

    I worked in a prison, and the employee support staff brought in a LMT for us officers. It didnt last 2 weeks. Can't have one massage practitioner for 50 men on a 20 minute break. Plus non of us went to it anyway

    I love working in an office! It's like one big party with free food!

    It's funny how some of these commercials that were made 14-15 years ago blew up with the ASMR thing. I also love how Tim Brookes in a cream suit likely has grown up now and has no idea of him being cringe in a cream suit has 500k views.

    manual and mental labour are both important. a "production assistant" (a labourer) is just as important as a receptionist

    Watching this made my back really want a massage

    @ploxioths the video was posted in 2009, not necessarily recorded in 2009.

    Not your lunch break, a whole extra 10 minutes! 😂 We are all robots setting in offices the majority of our lives for no reason
  • Well said, man. I just applied for a blue collar job so I can pay for all the expenses that go with college in California.
  • Mental work is more rare and in most cases more valued. I started taking out the trash at home when I was 12. I didn't learn the equation for terminal velocity until this year. Im not denouncing blue collar jobs as there is a clear need for them but they're not highly desired jobs that are given a lot of credit.

    Not to mention sitting for hours on end is one of the worst things you can do to your back.
