Amazon plans to put "wellness chambers" in its warehouses so that stressed workers can sit inside and watch videos about relaxation.
In a video shared on its Twitter account, Amazon said the "AmaZen" chamber would help staff focus on their mental health.
But it deleted the post after a wave of ridicule from other social media users.
The US retail giant has been repeatedly criticised over working conditions in its facilities.
