Notice how they’re always empty when they show them to you?
They don’t even give employees time to play them…

HellAwaits@lemmy.world 2 years agoI’ve seen companies install an whole-ass arcade room with skee ball machines and tout them like crazy. I was too naive at the time to think they were just masking a HORRIBLE company culture that makes people feel like absolute garbage.

I think it depends on the company, I work at a software company and you’ll regularly see the big boss playing pool with staff at random times of the day. A bit of non work time during the work day can help the brain come up with solutions to problems.
