> Another way to describe it is that the campus is designed to suck more employees away from the competition. If you assume the existence of an employee as a given, then the only reason for a perk must be to extract more labor from that employee. There are so many stories out there of people getting a "side gig" while working remote. The "working at two companies at once" is a real concern for tech companies - where IP assignment can create legal nightmares. One of the simplest ways to prevent this is to make it not feasible for a 2nd job to be held. If you're in the office for 8h for 3 days a week, it is not practical to be able to hold a second job at the same time. For companies with larger or more secretive initiatives and products these ideas are likely more reasonable. The tech companies know that they've got people who are "coasters" who are doing the minimum and collecting a pay check - they don't want to continue to enable to them to have multiple jobs that they're coasting in.
