If you are a picky eater and choosing between starving or paying for your own meal I think it's a safe bet which you would choose.
Try and flip your example around - say you were vegan and had to travel for work to a small town without any vegan options. Would you expect that your company would ship you food to fill the gap or would you just buy some groceries yourself and figure it out?
- jakebasile 8y agoThe "flipped" situation isn't the same, but just like in my example no I wouldn't starve, I'd find a way since I'm an adult capable of providing for myself. That doesn't mean it is a nice thing to do to your employees. "You won't starve" isn't an excuse for the company's bad behavior.
- camel_Snake 8y agoI mostly agree with your sentiment - my example wasn't a very good one. But I disagree that the opposite of not doing 'nice things' for your employees is 'bad behavior'. There's a middle ground where the company is neither bad nor good just average. Not paying for my alcohol isn't "ridiculous". Everyone unwinds in different ways - I wouldn't expect bike rentals, a massage, or a ticket to the movies to be part of my reimbursement. I'm glad you have high standards for how your employers treat you - I think everyone should. I just think we take for granted how fortunate most of us are with regards to our jobs and careers compared to most workers and it puts us in a bit of a bubble.
