@imnotbreno4 жыл бұрын
If they decide to give the money instead of the food, the money wouldn't be enough to buy the same amount of food individually. Economies of scale. Quality also tend to be better as they are cutting a middleman (grocery store/ markets) and reducing time between farm and plate. Then there's time, employees would spend more time cooking at home or going out for it. The real problem is when they offer things that you don't eat, otherwise I see no problem.
@theTweak02844 жыл бұрын
When I was in high school and working minimum wage, I absolutely loved getting free food because it was worth 1-2 hours of my time (depending on what it was and all that), but seriously, if you actually make a livable wage, and they aren't giving you a $30-$40 meal twice a day, it's shit, I'd rather be given $3 a day than a $7 meal that I don't get to choose.

There is research that backs pretty strongly that close proximity and tight spaces make humans more prone to get along with those next to them (duh, since you have no choice)...and most importantly for the micro managing style companies, more susceptible to suggestion. This research was done about the impact of apartment complexes vs more space in houses. Interesting study. But it makes sense that if all a company wants is robots, they'd want to create spaces where drones are produced rather than independent people. Like it or not, most people are perfectly happy being drones and just following orders. It is, sadly, the world we live in.

Seems like multiple companies are doing this lately. Over hiring, wasting money on buildings they don't have the budget for. Then letting all the staff go as a cost cutting messure as a way to say "woops maybe we over spent, someone has to pay for it".

Hey! I worked here for a year. It was the worst job I ever had. My first day I thought I joined a cult lol. If you are acknowledged and given raises for the work you do, then the person's happy. They seem to promote based on who they like better though. For the most part people are overlooked, underpaid, and overworked. I actually think if you're young and need your foot in the door then it's not a bad place to work. If you are over 20ish then move on.

I like to use this acronym to know what's important. There are 3 things that you need to value when it comes to work. L.T.M. stand for "Lunch, Time and Money". You can remember it by associating with "Long Term Management". It's your lunch, your time and your money that is being wasted on this. If you don't know when something is corporate garbage, just ask yourself: "Does this take away something of my LTM?" If the answer is yes, then it is and you should avoid it.

We used to have a snack cart. I shit you not. A person walking around each floor pushing a cart (many people actually, 15+ buildings in a downtown area and anywhere from 5-10 floors each). They would sometimes yell as they walk by the cubicle farms (short wall cubicles, of course, and kindergarden themed) "SNACK CART!!" and employees could purchase fruit or basic vending machine crap or energy drinks. It eventually died out, thankfully, because it was so damn cringy. I really felt bad for the people pushing that around yelling SNACK CARRRT. Sometimes I really wanted a drink or a fruit cup off of it too but I wouldn't because I hated the idea as it was extremely distracting. It was typically my cue to get up for a break and go to a local shop.
