Hear the one about the...Thoughts
This article reminds me of advertising company and tech startups I've interviewed and worked at in the past. The shininess of
what these company offer is hard to resist. Free food, team outtings, beer... All these things were just there to cover up the
pressures of making monies. The companies hired young people who didn't have any other obligations then work. So long hours and
high stress were the norm. I had one employer who put in their "Culture Book" that any less then 10 hours at work was consisted
not being in 100%. "You need to pay your dues." I think this shift in culture focused companies stems from wanting to rebel
agaist the old "corporate" ways of doing business. But in reality it was just the same thing with free food.
