They’re in a trail run with and still in studying with this activity. Let’s see how it goes.

But if not, it’s against my religion! No seriously, as a religious Jew I don’t touch people of the opposite gender. So unless the office has an all-female staff, this would be along the lines of religious discrimination.

This is the worst idea since the employer that instituted Onionhead. No, I take that back. Onionhead makes more sense!

Yep. My husband complains that I don’t want to cuddle. With him. The person I love most in the world after my blood family.

I think I would rather walk over hot coals than cuddle with my co-workers.

I’m a survivor of abuse by a peer in childhood and I have potentially deadly allergy by touch. SO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO – Do you want to put a plastic bag over your head and see if NOT BREATHING is a big deal or not NO!

Several years ago I flat out refused to do an activity that just required hand holding. Everyone had been eating the chocolates many with peanuts most with peanut oil the workshop leaders had out on the tables. I had been fighting nausea from the smell of peanuts all day. The people at my table had removed all the candy with peanuts/peanut oil. I wasn’t going to be touched by anyone in that room. I have a very blunt personality when it comes to this stuff and a long history of speaking up for myself. Still, it took the male teacher on my team getting inches from the face of the leader and ordering her to let me leave the room to stop the garbage. On the upside, the district made no peanuts at workshops a rule.

The last 7 times I’ve landed in an ER for allergic reactions it has involved either being touched by someone eating peanuts or touching a surface in a public area contaminated with peanuts. This is a potentially huge deal for me.

But, I do wonder just who they will get to apply for the “professional cuddlers” position? Now, THAT’s the person I’d worry about; especially since they are looking for folks with “experience”!
