Ask HN: Should engineering jobs have a nap time?

I agree in the OP's case this is a disciplinary issue. I would argue it's cause for termination but I imagine that's a minority opinion here.

I was referring to hobs's suggestion that a mid-day nap increase employee productivity and work quality. That may very well be the case but I still wouldn't pay employees to nap in the middle of the day.

To be clear, I dont think it is a minority opinion, I have fired half a dozen people for sleeping on the job, it was against policy and it was unprofessional in the workplace I was a part of.

My point is that things we think may be taboo could in fact be beneficial if we are willing to reconsider the assumptions that it is based upon.

Anyway, thank you for letting me play devil's advocate :)
