The smart employees will go to the places that have a better atmosphere, so those places will have both things.
It really isn't that complicated. It's like asking whether you'd rather spend your time in a maximum security prison, or a tropical resort (with good internet access).
- amichail 19y agoI can't really relate to this. I'm pursuing my own startup precisely because the sort of work I do is infinitely more important than atmosphere or any other perk.
- rms 19y agoBut if you HAD to work for someone else, wouldn't the perks make it better? You're comparing the infinite satisfaction of working for yourself to doing banal work for the man. Even with the free food, your startup will offer vastly more personal satisfaction to you. Forget startups. If you're an employee and choosing between two companies, all other things being equal, why not take the free food and gym and childcare? I love those $4 a bottle pure fruit juice drinks. I certainly wouldn't find it insulting to be allowed and even encouraged to drink as many of those as I wanted. What's the problem here?
