Google provides many of the services that you mentioned and they seem to be doing fine. 37signals only has 9 employees, they're very profitable for their size so I don't see it being a problem.
The key is to hire rockstars-- they produce more value in four days than a mediocre employee does given weeks. If you gave the typical person free food and time off. They'd stuff themselves until they got diabetes and spend the rest of their time watching reruns of 'Room Raiders' on MTV.
- pchristensen 19y agoBingo - you use perks like this to a) make sure your best employees would never, ever, ever consider leaving, and b) to make sure your next hire is as good or better than the existing team. If something like this takes you from being say in the top 20% of places to work to the top 2%, then you can be a lot choosier about who you hire.
