> those people can work literally anywhere and if they can do what they want to do anywhere else, they will leave.
I often wonder if the management team knows this. The people who are really good are also often:
1) more expensive
2) less likely to tolerate bullshit
3) will not be as submissive and willing to follow orders from the new managers
Since more bullshit is coming down the pipeline and orders from new managers will have to be followed closely, they do something like this, know exactly what effect it will have.
It is a variation of "we are not laying you off, just moving you to the basement". No company wants to be known for laying of the creator of language X, or famous technology Y. But if it seems they move on from their free accord then the company saves face.
However, I think I would prefer a higher paycheck every pay period instead of free lunch or soda and so on. What I don't have faith in is that the money saved from free stuff there will directly go to my paycheck.
For example, one way to fix the problem, at least for current empployees is to immediately give raises according to how much it was perceived it was costing the company in free soda or lunches, but that just doesn't happen I guess.
