First thought: They’re banning something memetically associated with the nerds they hate. second thought: That’s probably uncharitable. third thought: Oh they literally explained that that was, in fact, the reasoning.https://twitter.com/sfexaminer/status/1021761446852456448 …
“Do you understand how I perceive these actions as motivated by animus?” “Typical techie thinking the world revolves around you. That’s why everyone hates you, you know.” “You’ve defined me as a class member and are trying to harm me based on that.” “One can’t harm the powerful.”
“I would experience you illegalizing a service I use as harm, particularly when motivated by animus.” “Can’t be harmed, you rich brat.” “You keep saying variations on that but here I am begging you for permission to eat. Isn’t that what power looks like?” “Oh boo hoo.”
they don't say that literally or any other way
"depriving them of the pleasure" is Orwellian I DON'T WANT TO HANG OUT WITH NORMIES
this is making me absolutely lose my shit
I want cafeteria meal. This would improve my life so much
if you work from home you can be your own gourmet chef friend
if you work from home you can be on a first-name basis with your local doordash folks, belike
Perhaps people would want to “go outside and eat with the rest of us” if they didn’t have to wade through human waste on the sidewalks in order to get there.
Couldn't Google (for instance) just start charging for their cafeteria and thus make it a restaurant? Employees get like a 99% discount?
99% discount still means you have to waste lots of time waiting in line to pay. A big part of why free food makes sense is that you get rid of the costs of cashiers & payment handling entirely.
No. the reason the do it is because it gets you back to work faster. It's cheaper to feed you and push you back to your desk than let you go off campus. That is the only reason they do it.
Also as a recruiting perk. Tech workers can get free food at your competitor, so we need to give it to them here so they don’t leave. It’s become an expected company benefit in some areas.
At this point it's basically like employers providing free bathrooms for employees; of course they should provide the necessities of life while you're at work. Making you go outside & wait in line at a local business to eat or use the bathroom would waste both your time & theirs.
ah yes, the "app culture" of associating with your coworkers because you like them, and enjoying the generous benefits of your workplace is it bad to have a good job now
you will sit at our table, and you will enjoy it
The real problem being addressed here is that currently the only good time to throw rocks at techies is between 6 and 8 am (it's frequently too dark during the evening commute), and the rock-throwers hate getting up that early.
