"Office "cultures" that involve inane things like alcoholic drinks, free boutique meals, or dog-friendliness have absolutely nothing to do with getting work done."
Lots of things have nothing to do with getting work done. It's because we're not robots; we're people.
Seriously, if you're that upset with the "fringe benefits", then DON'T WORK THERE. There are lots of places to work that don't have any of these.
- p4wnc6 11y agoBenefits are fine and you should choose where to work partly because you like the benefits. But when benefits become venerated to the status of "part of the culture" and good employees are labeled as "not a team player" if they don't visibly celebrate the benefits, then it's a problem. I'm saying the problem is that these benefits are inane when they are marketed as part of the culture and not merely benefits.
