Interestingly enough I used to work at a company where the one any only benefit was occasional doughnuts on Friday (we did not get health insurance/dental/vision/retirement). And honestly we would all be pissed on the days when Doughnut Friday was cancelled.

- Forge36 6y agoMy company did this once a month on new hire day. It was cancelled and people were very angry. This was a few years before i started. 10 years later people are still angry, and some never had that benefit!

- conradfr 6y agoReminds me of this story I read a long time ago on HN and which is on topic for this thread. https://steveblank.com/2009/12/21/the-elves-leave-middle-earth-%e2%80%93-soda%e2%80%99s-are-no-longer-free/ https://steveblank.com/2009/12/21/the-elves-leave-middle-ear... edit: I see it has already been posted.
- catlas3r 6y agoAsk any tech worker in an office about the free snack selection. My coworkers get genuinely outraged when we trade out one brand of prepackaged nuts for another, or when their preferred soda goes out of rotation. Never mind they all make six figures and could easily purchase whatever snacks they wanted. The cost of the employee time spent complaining every time something changes here easily outweighs the cost of the entire snack program.
