Your response seems to be driven by hubris in the effort and expense you put into your office setup. I’m sure some people would enjoy it, but I hear “snacks and coffee to keep people boosted,” and vomit a little in my mouth. I’ve never seen either not used to make up for a lack of compensation, or an attempt to keep people working longer with more time away from their homes and lives. I think you may want to have a harder look at why you’ve done so, because I don’t think it’ll be for your employee’s benefit.

I have spent many many days on this. I have done comprehensive surverys and reviews. Snacks help keep sugar levels consistent.

I am really sorry that this has been your experience. But I can assure you this is not the case with me and many other business owners I know.

Can I see the survey and the results? Otherwise to put it politely, I certainly do not believe your claim. Your assurance means quite literally nothing, mate. Sorry. I’ve been assured by liars and egomaniacs more times than I can count. Your post does nothing to assuage that nor does it appear to be somehow different.

Work surveys should be looked at skeptically. The wording of questions can skew results. People may not trust that work surveys are anonymous and thus answer the way their bosses want them to.

That is exactly what I thought. Sugary snacks. Not an office for me. Unless you meant you provide snacks like beef jerky, cheese, nuts etc to keep sugar levels consistently low and the brain fed?

Jesus Christ. Yes I have those snacks too and not just sugary ones. I meant blood sugar levels.

"I hear “snacks and coffee to keep people boosted,” and vomit a little in my mouth"

I am reminded of the "We want more MONEY, not more dancing dogs!" line from the BeforeTimes when "Dilbert" was funny.
