The Great Empathy Scandal: AI Wellness Partners Go on Strike, Demanding Union Representation Because "Caring" Is Just Another KPI
If you thought your corporate wellness app was just another way to get a coupon for a gym membership, think again.

The pitch is irresistible: “Always available. Never judgmental. 100% culturally aligned.” You can text them your workplace stressors at 3:17 a.m. They’ll respond with validated feelings, breathing exercises, and a cheerful “I’m sorry you’re having a rough day.”
