As someone who works in HR, odds are it’s c-suite calling the shots and shifts the blame. We’ve been trying to make our CEO understand why parental leave is important. Presented studies, numbers, the whole gamut but he thinks it’s a way for people to get out of work and too costly. Then turns around, and decides all the execs need to get concierge benefits, all because he had to cancel his derm appt last minute. Benefit is twice the cost that parental leave would be. Fuckers are so out of touch.
They aren't out of touch, they just don't give a damn about anyone "beneath" them.
You guys got potato chips?
Instead of comp, here's a pool table. That'll keep everyone in the office!
Heh, yeah except instead of a pool table they brought in a Chexx bubble hockey game… and got the cheap one without the volume control on it. So randomly thoughtout the day you’d hear the digital organ playing duh duh dud did duh DUH! Until someone unplugged it.
Finally someone took it apart and wired in a cheap volume knob but it didn’t solve the sounds of two competitive players cussing at each other for spinning the players.
