if you aren't subject to a drug test it's because your company doesn't make any real products at your facility

yeah we got forklifts and big trucks and poo poo where i work, it's pretty understandable they don't want anyone wandering out into the warehouse while high.

Had a new guy at the office when some fancy drink pod machine gets installed. Everyone loves the hazelnut caramel or whatever it was.

A week or so later the office IM is lighting up like "hey where are all the hazelnut caramel pods?"

New guy: if you want some come see me

Thinking WTF I go over to see the new guy, and he has literally taken EVERY SINGLE ONE of the pods and filled his bottom desk drawer with them. Had an earnest chat with the guy and he apparently loves them too and didn't want to risk going without and they're free aren't they so he just helped himself to every single one of them. But there's no problem because if someone wants one he'll do them a solid and give them one if, just come see him right?!?!?!?

loving only child is my guess

e: testing whether you're a culture fit for the office should consist of role playing that scenario or something like it

i'm an only child and i don't even like taking the last item of food, that guy's just a dumbass shitlord

in places like korea where they do this companies still have some understanding that they are part of a social structure, and that perhaps that structure puts obligations on them to provide things to people further down the structure which will ultimately benefit the company (as well as reinforcing the hierarchical nature of the social structure). i don' think you'd find a single person at google who thought they had that sort of obligation.

yeah but with all the other stuff i've heard over the years about how goog tries to provide college campus-like amenities, i'm surprised they haven't just tilted straight over into building actual dormitories and promoting it as "now you can ~~*~collaborate~*~~ w/ your coworkers in the evenings when you have a cool idea about work! also hey just come downstairs to the cafeteria for food, no need to have to deal w/ kitchens or spend so much money on takeout! ;)"

seriously it wouldn't be about "being part of the social structure" it'd just be a naked grab for extracting more labor via "why would you ever leave work? work is cool. work is life. it's just like you never left college!"
