Why should the company spend millions a year on a perk you can take advantage of that I can't? And let's not assume you can take advantage of it, given there will be a waiting list.
Why do people want a return to the "company town" model just to save a few minutes?
- gertef 10y agoRight, companies should have no perks, because none of them are enjoyed by everyone. This includes healthcare and cafeteria.
- dxhdr 10y ago> Why should the company spend millions a year on a perk you can take advantage of that I can't? You can absolutely take advantage of it, by raising a child.
- valuearb 10y agoI have two, but I'm not taking them to my employers childcare. I took them to a good childcare that I picked out competitively. And now they are in school. Company perks shouldn't be enjoyable by only a tiny minority of the company at any one time.
- dismantlethesun 10y agoWell that's how all company perks are. Company gyms aren't large enough for literally all their employees to use at once, or even frequently interspaced over a single day. Apart from coffee machines, and maybe food service... no physical location perk is capable of handling the entire staff.
- kbutler 9y ago... but I don't drink coffee, so get rid of the coffee machine!
- teniutza 10y agoIt does not have to be free. Just being able to bring my child and, later in the day, take then from where I work (or close by) would be as close to perfect as possible. I would happily pay, even 100%, if the company would facilitate an on-site daycare. In regard to saving "a few minutes", I don't know how you (or other people) feel about it, but I'd happily spend more time with my child.
