    I think many people would like employers to stop wasting money (on stuff like amenities and activities that were not requested). Instead, make the job more attractive by listening and responding to actual concerns (like WFH, hours, wages).

      Maybe. Maybe I’m a bit spoiled in the software field, but I feel like they’ve done pretty well:

      • 2 days/week in office
      • flexible with appts and outside commitments
      • pay reasonably
      • free coffee and tea
      • free breakfast and lunch
      • gym downstairs (extra cost)
      • free EV charging

      Aside from just plain not wanting to go in, that pretty well covers any specifics I might complain about

        Fwiw I think that the people you’re discussing this with haven’t had the same experience in the workforce that you have had.

        How about just wanting to go outside for a few minutes and see real sunlight?

          We do have a pretty good deck and they let groups sign up for the grills, or it’s a nice walk around the complex

            I really do not think you understand the mental toll just being at work can take on someone and how getting away from work entirely for even a few minutes can get you destressed enough to return.
