    There is such a thing as a free lunch

    .. and a free tea, and free supper.

    Cliento has a free canteen, serving excellent hot and cold lunches.

    And today they're also laying on a cream tea, with choice of Pimms or beer, to bribe people to listen to a videocast from the MD.

    And this evening they are treating our team to a free meal in a Chinese restaurant.

    Crikey, at this rate I'll start putting on weight!

    Worked with a couple of clients who had a free canteen and even a free bar. It actually made things more productive because everyone would go to the canteen and talk over various issues.

      yeah, that's usually the point. If you go off-site for lunch you might take longer etc etc.

        They're doing it so that when they need you to work late you'll feel obliged to for nothing as everyone is so jolly nice.

        Tell them to stick the cream cakes and chinese up their arses unless they're paying overtime.

              ftfy.

              Careful, hope you didn't indulge, those are permie benefits.

                I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong!
