I like good food, so I wouldn't mind the free boutique meals, but I'm not willing to sacrifice salary for them. Plus, I'm pretty picky so if they get their boutique meals from some over-hyped restaurant that doesn't have anything on the menu that I want (like some weird vegan place), then suddenly that benefit is completely worthless to me. Alcoholic drinks at work sounds like a recipe for disaster, and a good way to get sexual harassment lawsuits on your hands. And dogs at work sounds like a horrible idea. The last thing I want to deal with at work is dog barking and dog smells. What a pain in the ass. And what about employees who are allergic to dogs? As for people telling shitty companies 'no', what really happens IMO is that people leave. Just look at the turnover rates in software. I left a job once mainly because of the lousy work environment; I can't be the only one.
