- dfgdfg34545456 2y agoAt a glance of that article they improved some of their furnishings and facilities. Is that the only thing you are considering when I refer to a carrot and not a stick?
- Devasta 2y agoApologies, I might have misunderstood: when you say carrot, are you referring to things like extra bump in salary to go in?
- TeMPOraL 2y agoSkimming the article, it feels they've focused on trinkets. The one thing that could make meaningful difference to their employees is giving everyone a room with a door that closes. The article doesn't seem to indicate they tried that. Free drinks and call rooms aren't going to offset the hell of an open-plan office; it's not surprising if people already used to WFH would pass on that.
