    (with ping-ping tables)

    Do they really think people give a shit about ping-pong tables? I don’t care about your little table games, pay me.

      Just being in HR gives you some kind of brainworm but being in HR and posting about it with what seems to be a personal account is more like having a brain shai-hulud

      It’s a tactic these dipshits use to downplay your legitimate concerns. Nobody gives a fuck about ping pong tables, snacks, paid lunches.

      Pay well or fuck off, the end.

        Paid luches are nice. But if I get the choice between $10.000 yearly more or paid lunches, obviously i’d go for the cash. It’s supposed to be a bonus (i.e. free), and not a way to cut corners and undermine your employees.

        Maybe it does do the company some good in terms of retention, but counting on “I’ll save $6k if I spend $4k on lunches per person on average by cutting pay for new hires” is not a good strategy. Same for ping pong tables, horseraces, pizza parties and whatever else.

      All I want to do is get in, do my job, and go home, which is where I really want to be. I like my coworkers well enough, but I’m not interested in socialising with them in or outside of work.

      Considering the rest of the post I would guess that HR sees it as a signal that the place allows their employees to leave their desk and not pretend to work for 15 minutes (morally repugnant to an American Protestant)
