I agree on the 'work environment, not a life environment', but I'm also trying to consider that a few minutes of diversion are inevitable, so people are either going to browse the web or get up and do something better. I could definitely see myself using a 15-minute break to play ping-pong with a co-worker, and then going back to work. What's the harm in that?
- run4yourlives 18y agoIt's been my experience that ping-pong tables, foozball tables or TV's and such quickly devolve into two use cases: 1. A vast majority of people never use it (after the initial cool factor period), you lose the balls and it just collects dust. 2. You get a small subset of employees that spend all day playing ping-pong, and do nothing else. I've never seen anyone play a quick 15min game then go back to work. Again, I don't have an issue with them per se, but I think there are better places to spend money.
- wensing 18y agoFair enough. I appreciate the honest analysis.
