Fortune magazine has re-ranked Google's standing as 'best company to work for', partly on the grounds that it has cut employees' benefits such as "afternoon tea and an annual ski trip".
This report from Macworld
Would you work for anyone who didn't offer you an annual ski trip?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

David Goldsmith, Who would be a biscuit manufacturer? They are the first thing to be cut by corporates, the first proper sign of a recession. I've been to meetings lately where the quality and quantity of biscuits offered has clearly been downgraded. It's a shocking state of affairs.
Here we haven't cancelled the annual ski trip but I've stipulated 4 to a bed instead of the usual 3.

It seems clear to me that it's the substandard biscuitry that is responsible for the recession in the first place. After all, how is the workforce supposed to remain motivated with nothing but a rich tea and a stale digestive to look forward to?
The government should borrow all the chocolate covered goodies it can and use them to kick-start the economy.

The company I work for takes 3 members of staff on at least 4 weeks of ski holidays each season

Hey, there are people out there fighting for fair biscuit rights and you're acceptance of the jammy dodger deal is just letting the suits walk all over everybody again. Defend your right to a fair biscuit.

Bode Swiller, you'll get spotty with too much chocolate. The finance boys seem to think 2009 is the new 1929. Retro is chic. Jammy dodgers are the way ahead.

brother achilles it's about solidarity with other workers who are barely above the minimum biscuit. Tow the line or we'll be calling you scab.

Tommy4681, yes and you're crackers
cathy, biscuits have been banned from internal meetings for ages at our place (unless you bring your own). If we've got customers in then we can usually get a small plate and occasionally a chocolate one makes an appearance.

We have been asked to not use as much milk and to chastise our fellow workers if they use it for cereal

One 'job' I was involved with the Board of Directors instigated a biscuit ban. The first complaint from a meeting complaining that there were no biscuits served with their morning coffee was from a .....................board meeting!
