Maybe the guy said it a bit awkward, but are we really complaining that his company is offering a variety of amenities to make it easier for people to work in the office?
A lot of these sound similar to what my company offers except we have no childcare but do have free EV charging. Those are all good things …… maybe it’s just how they were presented, plus we’re only being asked to be in the office 2 days/week
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).
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.
Don’t worry guys, the company men are good. They even set up a general store right next door that we can buy anything we need using this stuff they’re calling scrip.
I was just listening to that song! (You better not be my kid who pointed it out to me).
Check out Geoff Castellucci on Spotify and presumably other services! He’s got the deepest voice I’ve ever heard, and his version of that is something to listen to — but listen on an actual speaker if you can. Not just a phone

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