Wellness Vendor Turned Diwali into a Hospital Trip

The Narrative

Ayyo, this time wellness vendor gave us big shocking, boss. They organised so-called “stress buster” massage camp for Diwali in our company canteen. Vendor sent two fellows looking like gym bodybuilders, but half the team got rashes next day, one manager even fainted after smelling that ayurvedic oil. We had HR WhatsApp full of panic emojis, production head’s wife telling on phone this vendor do black magic. On top, vendor’s medical certificate had “Signed by Dr. Ramesh”, but Ramesh is their gym trainer only! Full HR got summoned by director. Vendor tried giving sweet box and saying “sir, small allergy only.” Then we checked, vendor never had any legal medical tie-up, just WhatsApp deals with admin staff. Company sacked the vendor, held big public apology, and new rule came: no wellness, no food, not even hair-cut on site unless 200% verified. Now, even if juicewala enters our campus HR team checks his Aadhaar! All head aches, but at least no more black magic wellness.
