I might be the only person on this thread who thinks that cutting snacks might be a good move sometimes. I once joined a division of a large corporation that wasn't doing so well. This division was new and well funded, but for a variety of reasons had not been able to ship anything of note. The corporation was tanking in the market. A round of layoffs came, and the division got a new leader. One of the first things this leader did was to cut snacks. (In addition to coming up with an actual plan for making a product.) At that point in time, cutting snacks signaled a culture change that was actually positive. Like, more doing and less sitting around in the kitchen eating pretzels and lamenting corporate dysfunction beyond our control. A few thing might make this example different than others in this thread. The division was fairly new and there wasn't much in the way of existing culture. The organization really did seem slow and fat, with an obvious lack of success. Also, the office snacks weren't that good and we were in a neighborhood with better options.
