I would argue that if you work for a company like Apple you're basically doing it wrong by not leveraging the campus amenities.
It's free real estate, free gym, free lunch, and the list goes on. I imagine Apple Park is a nicer place to exist than most residential homes.
I think that most Apple employees knew what they signed up for when they chose that culture.
- Rebelgecko 4y agoIIRC lunches at Apple are subsidized but not free
- olliej 4y agoNah they're just work cafeterias with pretty normal work cafeteria prices, similar to MS cafeterias. The free food == free employee labour model didn't really start in tech until google popularized it and aggressively marketed it (and similar "free" perks to encourage people to stay in the office w/o being paid more).
- KerrAvon 4y agoLunches at Apple may be subsidized, but they are relatively expensive.
- olliej 4y agoApple isn't google - there aren't free amenities. Apple has never had the google "it's your home away from home" model.
- JohnFen 4y ago> I would argue that if you work for a company like Apple you're basically doing it wrong by not leveraging the campus amenities. The last thing that I want to do on my off time is hang out at work. It doesn't matter how nice the amenities are -- I have a life to lead.
- dangus 4y agoIf your office subsidizes your meals, gives you square footage to work (instead of having a home office), and cuts out the need for a gym membership, that is non-zero value.
- mikeortman 4y agoDepends on where you live. That may not be enough to subsidize your time and money with a commute to get there and back... or cost savings from not needing childcare or petcare
