Empty vessels making the most noise at National Trust

March 15, 2010

Guru is loath to criticise a great British institution such as the National Trust, but some things are beyond the pale (or, indeed, pail).

In response to research that showed 74% of UK city based workers feel stressed on a daily basis, the National Trust has been handing out fresh air that has been bottled "at some of the country's favourite outdoor venues".

The Trust offered 100 bottles of fresh air in recycled glass jars to stressed-out employees after a study revealed that 70% felt more relaxed once they have escaped the confines of the city.

What a load of hot air! Mrs Guru regularly fills the recycling bag with many empty bottles on a weekly basis. Anyone who is feeling "stressed" is welcome to have a sniff whenever they like.

About Guru

Guru is Personnel Today's notorious HR commentator. He's been working in HR for far too long and observes every passing management fad with a mixture of anger and amusement. His blog is the one thing saving his long-suffering wife, Mrs Guru, from having to endure too much of his ranting about the big HR stories of the day.
