Perks and creature comforts in workplace

In tech, these came up. Think Google, Meta and the likes. Free food, massages, snack bars, beer after 7pm, sleeping pods, kombucha and so on. Other tech companies emulate these, because they all want to attract the same talents who had been “spoiled” by such perks and comforts and would not settle for less. 

Seriously, don’t fall into such trappings. 

Especially those that make you feel that office is more comfortable than home. You linger around, stretch your time to do work that could had been completed in shorter time, because you want to take a few minutes to go to the lobster live station at tea time. 

What are you losing?

Your personal time, your freedom, your time to live a life outside of work. 

You are now a hamster, trapped.

You work longer hours. For the same pay. Geez. 

Isn’t it ironic that we have all these technology that supposedly make us more productive but yet we end up working long hours? 

Then I’ll rather do away with the tech. 

You are now running ever faster in a most shiny and high tech treadmill, congrats. Hope you wake up and see it before your health and time left on this world are gone.
