Corporate Mindfulness Satire Cartoon: Peace by Command

The Scenario: In this corporate mindfulness satire cartoon, we see the ultimate management contradiction: a mandatory wellness session scheduled in the middle of a high-stress project.

The cartoon depicts an employee attempting to find "inner peace" while their screen is blowing up with urgent notifications. It captures the absurdity of treating mindfulness not as a practice, but as another corporate KPI that must be ticked off an already overflowing list.

The Observation: This piece highlights the "Band-Aid approach" to workplace mental health, where organizations offer breathing exercises instead of fixing toxic workloads.

At Kaapi with Ravi, we observe that "corporate mindfulness" often becomes a tool to shift the burden of stress from the system to the individual.

By making relaxation a requirement, companies inadvertently create more stress, turning a spiritual practice into a performative chore. This satire serves as a reminder that you can't breathe your way out of a broken culture.

Corporate mindfulness: Because it’s much cheaper to teach you how to breathe than it is to give you a lighter workload.
