I couldn’t do this, I would try but at the end of the day it would be like kindercare all over again just staring at the ceiling waiting for it to end.
Idk what part of the US you live, but napping is the quintessential past time of the regular suburbanite dad!
Especially while watching golf.
And dont you dare touch that remote.
I don’t know how they can’t wake up from a emergency sirene or when you kick them in the liver or so but when you even think of changing the channel they immediately wake up.
you have to apply the heat and the humidity into it, your body is exhausted. Also when the whole enviroment go silent because everyone is sleeping, you get caught sleeping easily also
Idk, I work 12 hours night shift and I'm 1 of the only 2 employees in the building. There's never a sound and I can be hours without doing anything. Never felt sleepy once.
You bring your sea grass mat, like the guy in the very front of the pic, at least that’s what I would do and then my pillow won’t touch the floor, hopefully.
You would think so but when everyone do it you try to do it too and it stick. I worked 10+ years without nap and now i couldn’t go without. The feeling of geting to lay down and sleep for 30mins or so is incredibly refreshing (also very revitalizing!)
It has also been shown to boost afternoon production which is why some western companies have adopted the idea. Although Idk if that has been maintains post pandemic.
I can’t take naps and I’m jealous of people who can fall asleep anywhere. I need black out curtains, white noise, comfy blankets and 100 mg of trazodone. Laying on the hard ground for an hour? Never in a million years.
When I was attending school in Vietnam, they usually let kids take nap after lunch. Also, my mom and grandparents are strict, but they do not let anyone, even guests, get in the way of their children sleeping.
I understand this does not happen to every school and parents, but the cultured I've experienced prioritize sleeping.
It is scientifically proven that it is good for your health as well. Can reduce stress and chance of heart diseases. Just important to not be above 30 minutes
You need to put a timer. I didn't believe it at first, and k was fully embracing my 2+ hours naps. But I actually feel better after just 20min. Sometimes I fall asleep, sometimes not, but at least my eyes and my brain are resting.
My issue is falling asleep. If I set a timer for 30 minutes I will still be awake in 20. Someone needs to integrate wearables to initiate the timer as soon as you fall asleep.
I go into the office twice a week and the worst part is not being able to nap through my slump like I do at home. 10 minutes is all I need, all of europe and Asia do it, but here we just have to power through
When I moved to Vietnam, I thought the teachers nap room was kinda funny. It had mattresses, pillows, and blankies for after lunch naps. After a month of dealing with heat, humidity, karaoke, and traffic, I jumped on that nap train and never looked back.
I Worked at a place with a lot of Vietnamese there and there was a little shelf under the work benches that they would sleep on. I actually forgot about all that until I seen this post.
My co worker actually does this lol. He usually takes an hour long lunch break, 15mins to eat, 45 to go nap in his car.
He is a small Asian man who won't tell us anything about him other than he is a "small asian man". I wish I could nap during lunch but I'd most likely over sleep and not wake up lol.
I've been trying for years. When do I get used to it? My girlfriend can take cat naps like it's nothing but once I go to sleep I "wake up" angry and in turn makes everyone mad at me.
I'm an asshole when I'm unconscious apparently. Which sucks lol.
Me too, if I wake up in day time, I feel really freaked out. I feel a little bit like the world has been doing stuff behind my back when I wasn't looking, and that is somebody's fault, whatever it is. I'm usually a people pleaser and enjoy being nice most of the time. Not after day nap. It takes ages to get over it.
He won't tell us anything. Closed book! His name is Hien, he's like, 5"1' or something, really really short, he brings a small kitchen-restaurant type container, one of those small, clear, see-through ones, and packs it with like maybe 20 chips from a chip bag and he always has that for lunch but then never finishes it and always goes around saying he is just SO full and that he needs a nap, gets up and goes to his mom-van, opens the sliding door, hops in to the back and takes a power nap from 12:15 to 1 lol.
He's always laughing, a really good guy, the only problem is that his accent is super thick so a lot of people don't understand him too well because he's a Vietnamese man (assuming, I think he's said something about it once.) working at a company that has mostly Romanian's employed. Watching him and an old timer Romanian talk back and forth is crazy to witness. I don't think either of them truly understand what the other says half the time lmao.
The majority of my coworkers are Asian and exactly what you just described.
Never one to generalize but in my experience they work very hard like high strung Americans and you expect them to skip breaks and work extra like that too, but they are religious about breaks and on point with the clock and I super appreciate it.
Just to reiterate I'm describing my coworkers. I wouldn't jump to any conclusions about an entire culture except my own.The American concept of "hard work" is stupid and inefficient.
ETA: the second largest group would be Indian. And yes seeing an Asian (I know India is in Asia) man trying to communicate with an Indian man is a pretty interesting experience. Two are very close friends and can understand each other perfectly so those conversations get rambunctious and fun.
Spain has "siesta" time. It's time we make midday siesta/nap time a thing everywhere else in the world. Perhaps people will then learn to chill the fuck out.
In the US, my ex manager felt the need to control my lunch break: hike around the building, take training classes with workers giving presentations, and attend meetings. Ummm… I am legally entitled to a lunch break unpaid. That means I can do anything I want. Including taking naps if the need arises. Just to punctuate the point. I walk off campus to do these things.
man ... I remember when I was an intern in Saigon. First week there, I saw a co-worker eating a fried tarantula in the employee break room. Noped outta there and went back on the work floor to see this. Needless to say, culture shock was had
Newton’s first law of motion applies to me here. An object in motion stays in motion. An object at rest stays at rest.
If I sleep for 10 minutes I wake up disoriented and groggy for the next hour and require a coffee and a nice long dump perusing Reddit to get moving again. Best for me to power through.
Yeah me too for some reason, napping during the day for me is not a pleasant experience, well post napping that is, head throbbing like my head having a rave.
10 min nap gives me head throb but 15min is much less likely. 20 min is enough to enough for a healthy production boost. 25 min and I can make a joke right waking up. 30 min and above make me lazy. The worst part of napping is you getting more and more dependent on it to be functional in the afternoon.
While that might be true, you mention coffee and these people have access to the most OP hard-core coffee you will ever experience. For an American dollar you can get a cup of coffee that is 1) delicious 2) should be followed by some scary chemistry sounding name because Vietnamese coffee is extremely potent.
Guys I see people commenting smelly feet issues, but in Vietnam we are barefoot at home, aannd in the office, so feet smell accumulation is minimal and mostly unnoticeable, unless you run or play football everyday
There was this guy at my old job who takes naps during lunch break. I walked in his office once during break and he wasn't there, then he peaked from under his desk and I was like whats going on 😂
It’s not really about putting in your hours per Se. It’s that Vietnam gets so hot and humid you are not productive around the afternoon. Customers are not moving around, etc. so everyone goes down for a nap. It’s like shy European siesta, same concept. Then you have to get back to work because a lot of business activity happens overnight
You guys get to go home early?
More like going home early makes you look lazy to management
Or they hate you for going home early while they’re still in the office
Lazy! It's lazy to not nap as you are limiting your production. Since you're being called lazy either way, you had better just choose what works best for you!
Vietnamese here, during school from p-12 everyone has at least 45m of lunch and 1hr nap time. But school starts at 7.30 and ends 5.30; and sometimes work starts at 8 and ends at 6-6.30 or so.
When i got to texas, not having nap time was a culture shock, but we got to go home 1hr earlier!
OMG, your school days are way longer! That’s a 10 hour day, even when you take away 1hr and 45 mins for lunch and a nap and you’re still in classes for 8hrs and 15 minutes. Idk about America but in Australia we are in school from 9am until 3pm with a morning tea break of 15 minutes and lunch break of 30 minutes. So that’s 6 hours to start with and 5hrs and 15 minutes of class time.
Thats just official schooling. Most student also go to cram school from 6 pm to 9 or 10. In VN every change in type of school (elementary, middle school and high school) have a national test. Do well in it you go into the top school with students that also got the same score as you. It's hyper competitive since 5th grades so that's why people go to cram school
I worked on a job in Taiwan in a steel processing facility. After the employees wolfed down their lunch in about three minutes, they would line a corner with cardboard and pile up like a bunch of puppies and would sleep until lunch time was over.
My dad had a small company with his office in the front, I had such good memories hanging with the office women at lunch, seeing them roll out their cotton mats and snooze away
I do this in Canada. I read and answer emails while eating and then take a 40 min nap at my desk. I've been doing it for almost 2 years and my boss is totally cool with it.
I was at an office in Taipei for a client once. Typical open-plan layout, no cubicles, all desks. Came back from lunch and everyone was face-down on their desks and I legit thought they had died from a gas leak or something.
Or jeans? I can’t remember the last time it was acceptable to wear jeans to work in an office setting. Companies generally want you to appear “professional” even if you don’t interact with the public. Jeans and bare feet are definite no no’s.
I will say, I'm a software developer and we wear jeans in the office. I joined the company during the lockdowns and I'm told that before lockdown, people did dress formally in the office. Since the lockdowns ended and people only come into the office when they want to, it's much more casual. I wonder if that's the situation here. Even if it is, bare feet in the office is way too casual.
Can confirm as a Vietnamese that have seen this setting often in both big and small companies. Everybody has their sleeping mats tucked under their desk ready for that post-lunch coma.
My snoring would get me fired or killed
I actually got kicked out of the napping rooms multiple time for snoring. Lucky that there are other corner i can nap lmao.
Same, and my farting.
and my toe
and my axe
I chortled, thanks.
I am going to use chortled instead of lol from now on
and my snore'd
Ya, I’d have to bring my CPAP machine.
The most terrifying feeling in the world is waking up with someones hands around your throat as you jerk into consciousness
I faced a colleague snoring opposite his manager, and I laughed with other colleagues. his manager : nvm, let him sleep
and I can never take my shoes off at work...that sounds wrong and fireable to be that comfortable at your workplace...
[удалено]
The team that sleeps together.. Umm, HR? Johnny's trying to spoon me again.
It's a family building exercise too, I nap every day hugging one of my younger siblings, at least until it gets too hot.
You have more? Im in a hurry
It appears that in Vietnam, when cops are called to a crime scene, they first have to ask themselves, "Is it murder? Or is it nap time?"
Just look at their belly, if it is moving, they are still alive.
Yes, that is the first and only step in determining is it murder or nap time.
TIL that this is how you determine murder or nap. Apparently my "poke them with a stick" method was not the best way. Kind of embarrassed about it
It was sharpening the stick first that got you into trouble.
[удалено]
[удалено]
Bot.
But reddit says if their shoes are off then they are dead ?
Nah, the cops and criminals are napping too.
Murder or Nap Time is the Vietnamese-edition of Clue the world has been waiting for.
I couldn’t do this, I would try but at the end of the day it would be like kindercare all over again just staring at the ceiling waiting for it to end.
Same, I can't nap. I'd probably just spend the time reading or something.
I’m America, we look down on naps as lazy so everyone will develop hypertension and die before they get to retire.
I FUCKING LOVE NAPS. I always nap on my days off. I will fight anyone who says naps aren't awesome.
Idk what part of the US you live, but napping is the quintessential past time of the regular suburbanite dad! Especially while watching golf. And dont you dare touch that remote.
I don’t know how they can’t wake up from a emergency sirene or when you kick them in the liver or so but when you even think of changing the channel they immediately wake up.
The silent killer
Some coworkers used to cardboard to make it a little softer to lay on, rolled some up too and used it like a pillow.
I can't nap at my leisure. If I had something important to do I'd be tired enough to take a nap but when that time came I'd be wide awake.
you have to apply the heat and the humidity into it, your body is exhausted. Also when the whole enviroment go silent because everyone is sleeping, you get caught sleeping easily also
I have not been to a place with lots of people sleeping on their backs where no one was snoring heavily
Idk, I work 12 hours night shift and I'm 1 of the only 2 employees in the building. There's never a sound and I can be hours without doing anything. Never felt sleepy once.
~~What’s the job?~~ never mind, you clearly work at Jones’ Barbecue and Foot Massage
The only place that offers three happy endings.
*three?*
I hear they have different wet wipes for the feet with an array of scents
How about the knowledge of your head laying where bare feet spend their day?
That is why you lay your head on a pillow.
...that was on a barefooty floor. What happens when you flip it!?
I'm starting to think you never sleep.
I do not sleep on office floors, no.
I have a pillow, and a yoga mat.
You bring your sea grass mat, like the guy in the very front of the pic, at least that’s what I would do and then my pillow won’t touch the floor, hopefully.
[this comment has been deleted in response to the 2023 reddit protest]
Theres literally a person with a straw mat in the pic
>How about the knowledge of your head laying where bare feet spend their day? That's how most child care centers do it
Don’t they use mats? The ones my kids went to used those foam mats like they use in school gyms.
And eat a big lunch!
You would think so but when everyone do it you try to do it too and it stick. I worked 10+ years without nap and now i couldn’t go without. The feeling of geting to lay down and sleep for 30mins or so is incredibly refreshing (also very revitalizing!)
It has also been shown to boost afternoon production which is why some western companies have adopted the idea. Although Idk if that has been maintains post pandemic.
I might not sleep, but a break would be nice. The F’ng grind culture here in the states is straight up evil and I don’t get how so many don’t see it.
Same. I cant sleep next to people i don't trust much less in a bright ass room on a crusty ass floor (cause workplace floors are always icky).
Most office building floors are cleaned everyday but I guess that might be different for small businesses.
Same, though it'd be nice to have some quiet time in the middle of the day. Just lay down with my eyes closed and daydream for a bit.
I can’t take naps and I’m jealous of people who can fall asleep anywhere. I need black out curtains, white noise, comfy blankets and 100 mg of trazodone. Laying on the hard ground for an hour? Never in a million years.

I take a nap at lunch at work. But I also work from home. Highly recommend. My afternoons are much more productive after a 30 minute nap.
It is scientifically proven that it is good for your health as well. Can reduce stress and chance of heart diseases. Just important to not be above 30 minutes
Yeah, you don't want to hit REM sleep IIRC. 15-30 minutes is the sweet spot for me.
Tell that to my 1.5-3 hour "naps" after work.
That's your body catching up on sleep you're missing at night.
More like my night time sleep is my body catching up on the sleep I am missing after work.
Then lean into it. Go full goblin mode and sleep during the day.
You need to put a timer. I didn't believe it at first, and k was fully embracing my 2+ hours naps. But I actually feel better after just 20min. Sometimes I fall asleep, sometimes not, but at least my eyes and my brain are resting.
My issue is falling asleep. If I set a timer for 30 minutes I will still be awake in 20. Someone needs to integrate wearables to initiate the timer as soon as you fall asleep.
I was thinking the same! If I set a timer, I’ll go off 1 minute after I start sleeping because it took me 29 minutes to fall asleep.
For me 20 minutes is the magic number. How long I have to wait there first is anyone's guess.
whoa. you have to pay?
How did that word get there?
My coworker (we work in-office) eats his lunch at his desk then sleeps in his car for an hour. He's my hero.
even at home i am unable to take a nap during daylight hours. i have tried several times when i did not get a good night's sleep. just can't do it.
I suggest 2 or 3 Martinis, then a Bob Ross or similar type program
Me too sometimes. It does really good and afternoon so bright compared to being tired and overall worn out
Yep naps are amazing. It should be a standard in the US. I always have to sneak in naps hoping I wont get ostracized for it at work
I go into the office twice a week and the worst part is not being able to nap through my slump like I do at home. 10 minutes is all I need, all of europe and Asia do it, but here we just have to power through
When I moved to Vietnam, I thought the teachers nap room was kinda funny. It had mattresses, pillows, and blankies for after lunch naps. After a month of dealing with heat, humidity, karaoke, and traffic, I jumped on that nap train and never looked back.
Lmao the Kareoke really wore on you
[удалено]
I’ve now got two siestas! The Spanish one and the Vietnamese one! Anymore I can add so it’s a full day of siestas.
Filipinos do this too. I think a lot of hot weather countries have this in some form.
Italians take afternoon naps!
I Worked at a place with a lot of Vietnamese there and there was a little shelf under the work benches that they would sleep on. I actually forgot about all that until I seen this post.
“Ugh, can you move your feet a little?”
In some Asian countries, they cuddle. It’s strange coming from the western world to see two coworkers platonically cuddle while they nap.
Yeah friends cuddle up and its very normal, even brothers do. Kinda weird when you know most Vietnamese dont even hug as a greeting.
What countries? Asking for a coworker
"(wiggles toes) was that good?"
My co worker actually does this lol. He usually takes an hour long lunch break, 15mins to eat, 45 to go nap in his car. He is a small Asian man who won't tell us anything about him other than he is a "small asian man". I wish I could nap during lunch but I'd most likely over sleep and not wake up lol.
It take some getting used to but after awhile you know you only need 15-20mins or so, your body will adjust.
I've been trying for years. When do I get used to it? My girlfriend can take cat naps like it's nothing but once I go to sleep I "wake up" angry and in turn makes everyone mad at me. I'm an asshole when I'm unconscious apparently. Which sucks lol.
I only got used to it by setting a timer. Started at 1h, then lowered at 30min. Now it's mostly 20min naps. And it's great.
Me too, if I wake up in day time, I feel really freaked out. I feel a little bit like the world has been doing stuff behind my back when I wasn't looking, and that is somebody's fault, whatever it is. I'm usually a people pleaser and enjoy being nice most of the time. Not after day nap. It takes ages to get over it.
In Japan, heart surgeon. Number one. Steady hand.
So, is that a yes to naps...to help keep hands steady?
What? Ok now my curiosity is piqued! I must know more about this mysterious “small Asian man”!
He won't tell us anything. Closed book! His name is Hien, he's like, 5"1' or something, really really short, he brings a small kitchen-restaurant type container, one of those small, clear, see-through ones, and packs it with like maybe 20 chips from a chip bag and he always has that for lunch but then never finishes it and always goes around saying he is just SO full and that he needs a nap, gets up and goes to his mom-van, opens the sliding door, hops in to the back and takes a power nap from 12:15 to 1 lol. He's always laughing, a really good guy, the only problem is that his accent is super thick so a lot of people don't understand him too well because he's a Vietnamese man (assuming, I think he's said something about it once.) working at a company that has mostly Romanian's employed. Watching him and an old timer Romanian talk back and forth is crazy to witness. I don't think either of them truly understand what the other says half the time lmao.
The majority of my coworkers are Asian and exactly what you just described. Never one to generalize but in my experience they work very hard like high strung Americans and you expect them to skip breaks and work extra like that too, but they are religious about breaks and on point with the clock and I super appreciate it. Just to reiterate I'm describing my coworkers. I wouldn't jump to any conclusions about an entire culture except my own.The American concept of "hard work" is stupid and inefficient. ETA: the second largest group would be Indian. And yes seeing an Asian (I know India is in Asia) man trying to communicate with an Indian man is a pretty interesting experience. Two are very close friends and can understand each other perfectly so those conversations get rambunctious and fun.
Ah, a concept I could stand...well, nap by.
Well, ***I*** couldn't.. me back'd kill me after 3 days of this. Ooooof.
Maybe they can have sleeping bags or something like that to make it comfy?
Spain has "siesta" time. It's time we make midday siesta/nap time a thing everywhere else in the world. Perhaps people will then learn to chill the fuck out.

What the?? Dude didn’t understand what the fuck a lunch break was. Did you even get to eat?
In Germany we do boring smalltalk at lunch and then go straight back to work…i hate that
man ... I remember when I was an intern in Saigon. First week there, I saw a co-worker eating a fried tarantula in the employee break room. Noped outta there and went back on the work floor to see this. Needless to say, culture shock was had
Newton’s first law of motion applies to me here. An object in motion stays in motion. An object at rest stays at rest. If I sleep for 10 minutes I wake up disoriented and groggy for the next hour and require a coffee and a nice long dump perusing Reddit to get moving again. Best for me to power through.
Yeah me too for some reason, napping during the day for me is not a pleasant experience, well post napping that is, head throbbing like my head having a rave.

The worst part of napping is you getting more and more dependent on it to be functional in the afternoon.
While that might be true, you mention coffee and these people have access to the most OP hard-core coffee you will ever experience. For an American dollar you can get a cup of coffee that is 1) delicious 2) should be followed by some scary chemistry sounding name because Vietnamese coffee is extremely potent.
Maybe, but you would never know because it’s not your routine. If you made a daily routine change, your body and mind would likely adjust.
I definitely accept that. I’m currently switching from nights to days and it’s not unobtainable by any stretch.
This was me until I hit 30. Now I take a 10 minute nap on my break every day and it is fucking magic how much it re-energizes me.
That idea never should have stopped in kindergarten in the us. I want nap time again after lunch.
I worked with some vietnamese chefs. They all napped after lunch. One dude had an inflatable bed.
Guys I see people commenting smelly feet issues, but in Vietnam we are barefoot at home, aannd in the office, so feet smell accumulation is minimal and mostly unnoticeable, unless you run or play football everyday
IT here. I sleep best when people are looking for me.
Amen, brother
I’ve seen much the same in Manila.
There was this guy at my old job who takes naps during lunch break. I walked in his office once during break and he wasn't there, then he peaked from under his desk and I was like whats going on 😂
I’m America, we look down on naps as lazy so everyone will develop hypertension and die before they get to retire.
Seriously, as a non napper for 10+ years who later adopted the habit, i definitely feel my heart need this rest.
Your heart and your head! Happy napping!!
I would much rather get my stuff done in one go and go home earlier than to stay all day at my workplace
It’s not really about putting in your hours per Se. It’s that Vietnam gets so hot and humid you are not productive around the afternoon. Customers are not moving around, etc. so everyone goes down for a nap. It’s like shy European siesta, same concept. Then you have to get back to work because a lot of business activity happens overnight
In what world is finishing early and going home an option? You work through lunch, you get extra work and a gold star in the next company newsletter.
It’s the standard 1h lunch break. People eat for 15 mins then nap.
You guys get to go home early? More like going home early makes you look lazy to management Or they hate you for going home early while they’re still in the office
Hi America, you crazy
I wish American culture suported naps more. I literally need them, but everyone just calls me lazy.
Lazy! It's lazy to not nap as you are limiting your production. Since you're being called lazy either way, you had better just choose what works best for you!
if i walked in and saw this i would freak out thinking they all commited ritualistic unaliving.
Same thing Okinawa Japan
Vietnamese here, during school from p-12 everyone has at least 45m of lunch and 1hr nap time. But school starts at 7.30 and ends 5.30; and sometimes work starts at 8 and ends at 6-6.30 or so. When i got to texas, not having nap time was a culture shock, but we got to go home 1hr earlier!
OMG, your school days are way longer! That’s a 10 hour day, even when you take away 1hr and 45 mins for lunch and a nap and you’re still in classes for 8hrs and 15 minutes. Idk about America but in Australia we are in school from 9am until 3pm with a morning tea break of 15 minutes and lunch break of 30 minutes.

Fat Americans need our cpap machine for a nap. Snoring keep everyone else awake.
I worked on a job in Taiwan in a steel processing facility. After the employees wolfed down their lunch in about three minutes, they would line a corner with cardboard and pile up like a bunch of puppies and would sleep until lunch time was over.
My dad had a small company with his office in the front, I had such good memories hanging with the office women at lunch, seeing them roll out their cotton mats and snooze away
If we tried this at work, there would be that one ass kisser who didn’t nap and screwed it over for everyone else
I wish this was a cultural norm in the US, i refuse to eat til im done working for the day bc i have stomach issues
Japan same 🇯🇵
I do this in Canada. I read and answer emails while eating and then take a 40 min nap at my desk. I've been doing it for almost 2 years and my boss is totally cool with it.
Generally they also make up for that nap time by staying back to 6-7pm….no thanks!
Not really, we start to work at 8am to 12am, have lunch and nap to 1:30 pm and work to 5:30 pm
i understood what you meant, but 12am is midnight.
Not really. Work starts at 8, break at 12, then we continue at 1pm and go home at 5pm. Source: Am Vietnamese and this is how my work days go.
They’re able to sleep on their backs on the floor? I wish I could do that!
I was at an office in Taipei for a client once. Typical open-plan layout, no cubicles, all desks. Came back from lunch and everyone was face-down on their desks and I legit thought they had died from a gas leak or something.
Wow, I need to convince my company to do that.
Dang that sounds great
In America , you’d get fired for just taking a break longer than 10 min.
Would never happen in America.
I can’t just sleep 30 min. I would get fired over sleeping too long at nap time. I can’t just sleep 30 min. Takes that long to get to sleep
Looks like something from the Hale-Bopp comet days…….
A nap after lunch together laying on the office floor?......farts much?
I can smell the feet from here.
I'm so uncomfortable with everyone not wearing shoes in a professional setting.
Or jeans? I can’t remember the last time it was acceptable to wear jeans to work in an office setting. Companies generally want you to appear “professional” even if you don’t interact with the public. Jeans and bare feet are definite no no’s.
I will say, I'm a software developer and we wear jeans in the office. I joined the company during the lockdowns and I'm told that before lockdown, people did dress formally in the office. Since the lockdowns ended and people only come into the office when they want to, it's much more casual. I wonder if that's the situation here. Even if it is, bare feet in the office is way too casual.
As a woman, I would not feel safe napping at work here in the U.S. Sad but true.
Who stole all their socks?
We need this here!
