“Unbelievable But True: 67 Outrageous Work Perks That Left Employees Speechless!”
Last I heard, they had mass exodus 3 months later and had to let people use the benefits or they were leaving. And a good 40% left in 2 weeks.
I interviewed with a place earlier in the year that walked me around the facility, including their employee dining room, and the guy said (enthusiastically) “we’re right next to the employee dining room so there’s never any reason to leave the office for lunch!”
The office and dining room were in the basement. Zero sun or windows, all day every day. What a bonus that I can grab my lunch and bring it right back to my desk for more work!
I was in a division and one of the units in the division had reached a milestone in a big project.
It had been a lot of work and there was lots of congratulations given. The top bosses decided to have a little thank you party and cakes were purchased but we were advised that we had to bring our own coffee.
Not insulting just funny to me. Our “perk” was free DVD movie rentals. You could borrow a DVD if you worked until close, 10pm. It had to be returned by 11am the next day or you paid a late fee. This wasn’t very many years ago.
I got a 5lbs block of cheese for thanks giving and travelers insurance for a job that started most out at 15-18 dollars an hour.
