Maybe the guy said it a bit awkward, but are we really complaining that his company is offering a variety of amenities to make it easier for people to work in the office?
A lot of these sound similar to what my company offers except we have no childcare but do have free EV charging. Those are all good things …… maybe it’s just how they were presented, plus we’re only being asked to be in the office 2 days/week
Don’t worry guys, the company men are good. They even set up a general store right next door that we can buy anything we need using this stuff they’re calling scrip.
I think many people would like employers to stop wasting money (on stuff like amenities and activities that were not requested). Instead, make the job more attractive by listening and responding to actual concerns (like WFH, hours, wages).
Maybe. Maybe I’m a bit spoiled in the software field, but I feel like they’ve done pretty well:
- 2 days/week in office
- flexible with appts and outside commitments
- pay reasonably
- free coffee and tea
- free breakfast and lunch
- gym downstairs (extra cost)
- free EV charging
Aside from just plain not wanting to go in, that pretty well covers any specifics I might complain about
How about just wanting to go outside for a few minutes and see real sunlight?
