Right? I am 27 and I would take a bigger salary over a bean bag chair at my desk and free snacks. I got bills to pay and mouths to feed. And honestly I work better in a cubicle with headphones than I do in an open office.
- _bxg1 8y agoI'll take the basic creature comforts, but just think about how much money all those massage stations and fashion shows cost, and how big of a chunk that must take out of everyone's paycheck.
- AlexTWithBeard 8y agoNot that much, actually. Painting the walls costs the same regardless of the color. And buying one massage chair per department is certainly cheaper than purchasing it on your own.

- michaelt 8y agoYou can't illustrate an article on a "better workspaces" with just cubicle walls! You've got to be able to take a single photo showing desks with laptops, brightly coloured couches, big windows with no blinds, a kitchen, and exposed duct work or wooden beams, all in the same photo.
- magduf 8y agoActually, no. Developers these days want open offices, and actually hate cubicles or walled offices. I know people on these forums are usually the opposite (as am I), but most of the younger devs I know actually love open offices and wouldn't have it any other way.
- SketchySeaBeast 8y agoI don't work in Silicon Valley and don't make near the wages. While work amenities are nice, the biggest thing that weighs on me is going "can we afford for my wife to take mat leave and still pay the mortgage". I don't wake up on Sunday mornings in a panic because of the lack of a pinball machine in the office.
