No Massage and Keep the Dinner

At Fistful of Talent, Jason Pankow takes on bad benefits disguised as perks. An excerpt:

I have a suggestion. Stop hiding behind "beyond the basics" benefits. First, address the real issue of poor planning. Overworked employees are a direct result of poor management. Also, consider improving your "work from home" policies. Employees aren't afraid to work hard and sometimes put in long hours. But, instead of paying someone to give them a back rub, let them work from the comfort of their own homes. Give them a chance to put their kid to bed and watch some "Walking Dead" before they sit down to crank further.
