LOL Disadvantage: "The need to prepare food."
Are we talking about generally existing as a human being? Yeah, until they invent food replicators you're gonna have to prepare your own food. Get used to it.
I'd say getting to use your own kitchen to prepare your own delicious and nutritious meals is one of the prime advantages of remote work. It saves you way more money over going out to eat, and it's a much more healthy alternative to blindly trusting a restaurant or some food service company like Sysco.
Then again, I am a bit of a maverick in that I make all of my lunches at home, even when I have an office I must travel to for work. You can do your entire week in advance on a Sunday evening, spending less than $30. Not. A. Hardship.
We really should push back against the catered meals and supposed "perks." That's money the company could have spent on increasing your salary or paying a higher dividend to shareholders. Instead of doing that, they've decided they're going to spend your money on an army of chefs to keep you at the office 24/7.
I'll take the higher pay, greater freedom and autonomy, and my own home cooked meals, thank you much.
- darkstar999 8y ago> The need to prepare food I'm wondering if that one came from the perspective of those big campuses like Google who have free cafeterias for their employees? Fairly weak point either way.
- Felz 8y agoI assume catering food for your employees is tax advantaged.
- bendixso 8y agoYaaay government deciding it's better for my employer to pay a food service provider instead of just paying me directly.
- OJFord 8y agoI think it's an intended joke; a dual of "home food" in the advantages. (Unless you, or someone else contributed that after reading and before I did, of course...)
