Google is cutting perks, again.
The original report is behind pay wall from insider. Ruth is ruthless in cost cutting. I remember one of the talking point from google to the candidates is they have micro-kitchen within 200-300 ft in any office location. Now they are talking about cutting that back. Not a good sign. https://gizmodo.com/google-snacks-alphabet-return-to-office-layoffs-ai-1850289576

Why do you care?
Because Google is the standard. If they lower, everyone lowers
Google's one of the industry leaders for a lot of things - I'm pretty sure most companies and even startups wouldn't have the amenities/perks before the big FAANG ones did. Half the recruiting points for startups (where I worked before) were comparisons to FB/Google: free lunch and dinner; nap rooms; table tennis + pool tables; maternity rooms, etc. My parents and friends didn't have this (and still don't) at Fortune 100 companies. But it entices startups and smaller companies to attempt at giving all of Google's perks in order to attract talent.
You mean you will have to walk more than 300ft to reach to the nearest kitchen? That's rough.

You get used to the free banana quickly Amazon. Jk itâs more like fancy chips and kombuchas
if that means better stock refreshes .. no complains
Until they kick us out. And then only the execs enjoy the stock upside.
You think thatâll translate to better refresher ?
I care, if Google is cutting back others will follow. Even when there's no benefits left to cut đ¤Śââď¸

Lol why do they need workout classes if they have a fitness stipend
Fitness stipend is only for those whose offices don't have a gym
Untrue
**Hugs** fellow sufferers. When they cut our Nirvana coconut water, I cried looking at the skies
So many spoiled children.
Whatever it takes to extract work
I hope youâre not using any of the benefits, perks or amenities provided to you at Meta. Theyâll serve those âspoiled childrenâ right, fuk yeah! đ¤
Everythingâs ok till they cut feed food. Then all hell breaks loose
I can't wait âşď¸
This sort of idiotic micro-cuts is why we need to fire these useless HR bootlickers and inane leadership
How dare they!
