With all the germs left behind in a standard ball pit, I’m surprised sick leave hasn’t tripled.

Bleeb seems to be enjoying it. He kind of blends in.

McDonald’s remove their bowl pets because they were Petrie dish For pee poop vomit germs and viruses

What if they had a bull pit, instead?

I don’t think I see the improvement – stay home “sick” and not work, or stay at work and…not work.

That might work!

Productivity has not improved (yet) … but they do seem to be happier and more satisfied.

The lady just climbing out looks like there might have been some hanky-panky going on underneath the balls…

When they get bored with that they can introduce mud wrestling. Then jello, then warm oil…

How’z about a hot tub!?

Looks like affirmative action Sunday.

Sick leave is down 37% but productivity is down 50%.

Just add a jacuzzi and winery in the workplace and ppl won’t get sick at all for some strange reason

It’s the pits.

If anything, sick leave will go up. There’s a reason why McD took out their ball pits.

How about a marijuana break room? People will show up to work every day.

Google actually has those in some of their break areas

Goofing off time, however, is UP 47%.

Yeah, until that fungal outbreak.

Bazinga!

But injury days have increased. I see one that’s feet up that’s probably ready for the emergency room.

If you’re having a ball at work… you tend to stick around!

Mind you, ball pits are full of bacteria so it might cause more sick days. But it’s a cartoon so it doesn’t matter!

spreading a lot of germs in that ball pit.

That’s right: make work fun an nothing get dun…

But cases of athlete’s foot and toe fungus are soaring!

Three people doing all the work…sounds about par for the course!
