Indeed, at my new job I can get free meals, a free gym, free health clinic (not just a band-aid station, a fully staffed urgent care center with its own dispensary), showers, and so on. And this is not even corporate, it's a government job. But after a few weeks of just partaking of the free lunch/dinner, I decided to stop using the freebies. I felt like I was living there (12 hour shifts contribute to that feeling of course) and so I began leaving for lunch breaks and decided not to use the other facilities unless absolutely necessary. Given it's a government gig, it already feels like they "own" me as it is (mandatory uniform, strict rules about social media use even off the clock, etc).

You work for the military? Who else has this kind of rules?

The Circle!
To me, doing all of your life at work is work, with no life. I need to disconnect, and I can't do that in the place where I work. Is this a corporate culture thing now? Work for Google, socialize only with Googlers, eat/sleep/breathe work?
