Is having red wine, on tap, a “basic perk” to you?
Edit @7e: I understand alcohol for weekly social events. Having red wine, on tap, for any employee to have, at anytime, is beyond belief. I can fully understand why anyone who has worked in a remotely blue-collar job would look on them with total disdain.
- 7e 4y agoMany tech companies have alcohol on-site for weekly informational/social events.
- malermeister 4y agoIs it some crazy luxury to you? In my part of the world, it's the norm for employers on construction sites to provide beer for their workers. How is this any different?
- thruway516 4y agoI think red wine is substantially more expensive. Plus I bet the free beer is about the only 'perk' those construction workers enjoy. Or do they also have nap rooms and eucalyptus tea face towels?
- strken 4y agoI don't think it's functionally very different from having a cask sitting in the breakroom cupboard for Friday drinks. Cheap red wine is $3/litre here. It's not sturgeon caviar and Cuban cigars, and I wouldn't imagine many employees drink during the day, at least beyond an occasional glass at lunch. Whether having always-available alcohol in the workplace is a good idea is debatable, but I don't understand why it's beyond belief.
- saagarjha 4y agoI honestly don't know if we have red wine on tap, but I'm sure one of the cafes will serve it to you. We do have beer and kombucha on tap. Not at all unreasonable. I mean I understand that this is privileged when you take into account the entire workforce, but it's nothing unusual for a tech company.
