Dance Monkey
I was visiting our warehouse which looked pretty standard as all things go. Tall shelves loaded with pallets, conveyor belts and forklifts going to and fro, burly men and women in high vis attire pottering about.
When all of a sudden a song broke out over the PA system and every single person started dancing. Their expressions didn’t change, they didn’t stop what they were doing or where they were going, they all just danced as they went about their business.
A few seconds later the music stopped and they resumed normal existence. It was so bizaare. Like they had been brainwashed to respond to the music and didn’t recognise their own conditioning.
Turns out that’s all part of their ergonomics program. Every so often the music starts up and they’re meant to move about as a form of stretching. Story credit: Reddit / obscureferences
