> Twilio offers employees a Kindle plus $30 a month to purchase books.
Why not just provide $30/month extra salary? Why is this restricted to books?
> Twitter is well-known for providing perks such as three catered meals a day
What? Why would you need dinner at work?
> World Wildlife Fund employees take Friday off every other week, also known as “Panda Fridays” at the nonprofit.
Now this is a perk!

I will say books only seems restrictive. Pluralsight has nice training material in video form, and other places are doing interesting weekend courses, why is dead paper the only method of learning to these companies?
- cballard 11y agoWhy would this be provided as a stipend instead of as an expense? If you're completing the training on company time, it's just another expense. If you're expected to do it on your own time, how is this a perk?
- tshtf 11y agoWhat? Why would you need dinner at work? This is clearly to push employees to work late into the night.
