People want both.
I work for a company that made the audacious decision to let people work how they feel they work best.
They got the feedback that there are some things that some people miss about working together in an office.
So once a month they have catering brought in to bait people into coming in and seeing their coworkers face to face, optionally.
My loose observation is that pizza fails the 20 minute drive test, but any BBQ passes.
I live an hour away because housing prices are literally 1/3 what I would pay closer, so I only go in if everyone on my team is and the food is up to snuff.
Point is, people want BBQ and less commuting, and we should make it clear that we expect both.
Yeah. Ironically the one thing that actually made me come to the office more often is the free lunch coupons they started giving out. I still don’t come in often, but definitely more often than before.
Have you tried biryani?
Yup, it’s great. We haven’t gotten it from work, but I’m sure it would bring in a lot of people.
