Last two companies I worked for treat their workers to a lot of goodies, like food, after work parties, stuff like that. Not everyone is that stingy. But of course, they only care in order to make workers happy to make more money for the company.
In the end, it's all about the moolah.
My current company pantry has a lot of snacks, because they are bought by employees using company money. Angry employees buy a lot.
thats pretty much with tech, all these conferences they go to are AI, and they get all these goodie bags, and free "ice cream", so they dont end up rebelling or "kicking and screaming out the door" when they are laid off.
Kinda curious about the quotes around "ice cream" tbh
It's fine for companies to be motivated by money, what matters is that they make the right decisions. Regulations help with that, but this very post is a clear example of how a money-motivated company can instead try to squeeze their employees for more money instead of spending money on them to hopefully increase productivity.
Definitely.
