your star engineers maybe like playing ping pong too, and like having someone to play with.

Why does it seem like every company on earth is either a hellhole where you get three days off a year or a ridiculous hugbox where all your employees are spoiled children who play ping pong at work and eat on the company dime?



Why does getting free food mean you are spoiled? Sounds like you are just bitter that other people have better jobs than you do.


I don't think the people in these positions realize just how privileged they are compared to the vast majority of workers. I'm spoiled too.


Spoiled is a value judgement. Capturing some of the massive economic surplus you create instead of letting it all flow to investors is not a bad thing.
