This was a fascinating look into an entire different world, thank you. To work for a company that actually provides mental healthcare and then demand it proactively monitor the media for possible sources of stress on particular employees is a position of such breathtaking privilege I had to read it twice before it sunk in. Has this person ever worked somewhere half his coworkers are living paycheck to paycheck? Has he ever had a bad job in his life?

It's Google...a simple Google News alert would be easy to set up, and having a counselor would be no more unreasonable to have than the massage therapists and barbers they currently have on site.

Indeed. I'm not saying it isn't inconvenient when the wheel breaks off your golden chariot, just that I'm surprised you have one at all. "Barbers and massage therapists on-site" Holy moley these people work in Cloud Cuckoo Land.
