Of course it is. That doesnt mean it isnt also a perk. I am happy that my office has coffee even though it also benefits my employer with the increased productivity. Same with lunch, its a win win for the company and the employee.
- tivert 2y ago> Same with lunch, its a win win for the company and the employee. I don't think it's that simple. Sure, on some level it's a win for you (free food) and a win for them (more time spent working), but on another level you might be winning more if the perk wasn't influencing your decision-making to take the employer-preferred path. I think it's a little more clear when thinking about employer provided dinner, like Facebook apparently provides.
- dns_snek 2y agoI don't think it's a win for the employee if they're getting $100 worth of extra labor out of you in exchange for $25 worth of food. And not just financially, I always thought that these "perks" make it harder to disconnect and relax from work which is likely to take a toll on mental health - I know it would for me.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoIt isnt an exchange of extra labor for food. They are demanding the work either way for the salary.
