Twitch did the free food and snacks thing. When acquired by Amazon, Twitch opened a Seattle office, on a floor of an existing Amazon building. We got to keep getting free food!
Every day around lunchtime, hungry Amazon workers from adjacent floors would quietly try to slip in to get a sandwich or a kebab or whatever, or would surreptitiously attempt to get a bag of chips.
Eventually the Twitch side started to complain: there was never enough food to go around at lunch time. If you were more than ten minutes late, all the food would be gone.
The Amazon management’s response? Lock off the Twitch floor so it required special badges for access. Let the Amazonians starve!
- chihuahua 3y agoThat is exactly what I expected to happen.
- Rebelgecko 3y agoTBH I expected that everyone would lose the free food
- nradov 3y agoThe last thing most tech workers need is more chips.
- tonyedgecombe 3y agoYeah, free food looks like a negative to me.
