One Employer Makes Happiness a Requirement on the Job

Apparently at the food chain Pret A Manger, an employee set of rules include a few requirements of “Pret behaviors” such as being “enthusiastic,” “genuinely friendly” and “happy to be” themselves.

As first reported in the London Review of Books, the fast food chain enforces behaviors with a “regime of surveillance and assessment.”

Creeped out yet? 

They supposedly send a mystery shopper to each branch to assess each employee’s emotional status and if the report ends up being positive, everyone gets a bonus.
