Bad Mood? Go Sit in the “Grump Cabin”

A Canadian digital agency set up a quirky “Grump Cabin” in the office—a small soundproof booth filled with stress balls, bubble wrap, and a “rage playlist.” If someone’s feeling cranky, they’re encouraged to spend 10 minutes in there before interacting with anyone else.

Rather than shaming negative emotions, the company found that validating and isolating them in a safe space actually made the office less toxic. Colleagues return from the Grump Cabin calmer, funnier, and often laughing at their own temporary rage. The only problem? It’s so cozy, people started booking it just to nap.
