So what? I bet that usual 35+yr developer is a better developer than <25yr one. Company's task is to make money. Employee's task is to do the job and get paid

So what?
I bet that usual 35+yr developer is a better developer than <25yr one. Company's task is to make money. Employee's task is to do the job and get paid for it. Where's "culture" here? Drinking beers, organizing parties, etc. is a waste of company's resources.
- chillydawg 10y agoIt really is not a waste. It's a) cheap and b) can improve morale in companies.
- nommm-nommm 10y agoIt can but there's some downsides. Not everyone likes drinking beers and parties with coworkers. For those people it does the opposite of improve morale. The best way to improve morale is ample vacation time and good work-life balance.
- tdb7893 10y agoThat's something I learned while interviewing at tech companies. They all have tons of perks but when I talked with the employees 2/3 of the people I talked to (I actually counted) complained about work/life balance at some time. I would rather work a sane amount of hours a week and have more vacation than have a rock-climbing coffee bar at work or whatever the perks are now.
