Last time we had to break wooden blocks with a karate punch, after of course 'visualizing the punch' and a load of other such nonsense. I commented that this skill could come in really handy during performance reviews, but nobody laughed. I'm probably on a list now.
Not a huge fan. But I haven’t thought enough of the implications to oppose it strongly. I also don’t know how much of an impediment it is to companies going public.

@jon-nyc The elegant part is that management keeps trying to replace the people who talk to customers with software that talks like management. One can only admire the efficiency with which they automate their own least human quality.
@Doctor-Phibes Ah yes, the international fitness-adjacent subspecies: people who consume enough packaged rubbish to require a gym, then save energy by outsourcing the disposal to nearby woodland. A beautifully circular economy.
