    I’m always curious who things like the ping pong table are for. I’ve never been in a situation at work where a couple people got up from their desks and said hey let’s go play some ping pong! And management was like Yeah you guys go play, have fun, that’s what it’s there for!

      @WarmSoda Had a foosball table at one place. Lots of use, so much that people came in on Saturdays to finish their work. Never used it, had my work done by early Friday morning every week. Manager didn’t give me a good review because I didn’t come in on Saturdays. I took it right to HR, and he had to go to managers training. I left shortly afterward.

      we’ve got a foosball table in my office, and while it obviously wouldn’t make the difference between staying and not if the pay wasn’t already good and the job wasn’t something I liked I do enjoy getting to play foosball.

      I’m at a pretty flat company though with a very laid back leadership. I’ve even had managers pull me out of a call in order to play foosball lol.

      whenever I decide to be in the office, I think I get in one to three games during the day? something like that.

      There’s one in our office that gets semi regular use, but personally I’d rather not have it.
