Amen
- mc3 6y agoFree snacks & beer are an anti-perk if you want to maintain a healthy BMI, and a healthy body. Alcohol is a drug with side effects (even if you don't have a hangover), but most people don't think of it that way.
- tracker1 6y agoIt always bugs me that "Free snacks" rarely includes fruit, nuts or other things that aren't processed.
- mixmastamyk 6y agoYes, almost always corporate carbs, which I like to call carbage.
- balnaphone 6y agoThat's strange. The offices at Bloomberg, Microsoft, Walmart Labs, etc., all had healthy options when I've been there.
- tracker1 6y agoDefine healthy... For me, fresh fruit, nuts, even low sugar jerky are healthy. Anything with modern wheat and refined carbs tends to be problematic.
- serf 6y ago>Free snacks & beer are an anti-perk if you want to maintain a healthy BMI, and a healthy body. or it turns into a perk again if you think of it as a way to train yourself against temptation. This mentality is weird to me. "employee stock options are an anti-perk if you want to maintain a gambling-free lifestyle." "airbnb travel stipends are an anti-perk if you want to maintain a body free of traveler's diseases." "free on-site dry-cleaning is an anti-perk when they lose a button on your jacket." everything good in life can be viewed from a dark angle, but it gets pretty tiring to do so.
