I actually convinced my boss to get us a ping pong table, all I had to do was forego my pay for a year!
Totally worth, since I'm not working for the money, I'm working for the culture (our culture is now a ping pong table). It's so awesome that I can use it during my state-mandated breaks ๐

I can't afford groceries for the 3rd time this month, but did you hear they're putting a ping pong table in the lounge!?
Most people quit because of bad bosses. I know I have...
Wild. They both "might" help. They both cost the company money. They should both be correct.

Chants for your next strike action:
- "Our CEO'S a DING DONG, WE JUST WANT THE PING PONG!!!"
- "Hey hey! ho ho! Give us balls and paddles or we're going to go! Hey hey! Ho ho!"
- "The workers without ping pong, will never work the day long!"
- "The people with no paddles, will never be your chattel!"
- "backhands, forehands, we don't need your labels, the only thing we need are fucking ping pong tables!"
I doubt most people leave because of a lack of ping-pong table.
This is the reason why but never the reason I give. If I make employers think at any time that I focus too much on the money, they will see me as a troublemaker. Instead, I come up with some bullshit excuse such as medical reasons and the smart employers will work it out on their own.

Was "A ping pong table and enough free time in my schedule to actually use it for half an hour on a quiet day without the area manager coming in and demanding that we get back to work" too long?
Ill stay at an average paying job with a great culture, over a shitty culture and more money. But only to a point.

Oh yeah, fun fact, in my former and current job every year we get invited to a town halls with some executive and every year we hear the complaints that we can't keep employees.
Every year I ask the same question, "We keep hearing that we have a attrition problem so why do we keep chasing the industry standard for pay and benefits, why can't we adjust our pay scale and promotion process to actual reward performance to actually keep our high performers?"
Every year, is a non-answer, nothing changes, we lose good people and only keep our industry standard people.
Though it was funny that since I'm on multiple projects/teams I did get the same speil multiple times from the same person and the third time in two years I got called I didn't even have to ask before I got the boiler plate.
If they put a ping pong table anywhere within earshot of my desk Iโm going apeshit
How about giving them a raise in pay, and if they really want it, they can buy the ping-pong table out of their own pocket flips desk

This totally doesn't look like something fake with its lack of source or context that was just made to spark rage, not at all
