So, I just came from a job interview.  Their break room had 3 freezers of frozen food to heat up for breakfast/lunch/dinner. A liquor cabinet, filled with high end liquor. Two fridges with beer, soda and water.  Two cabinets of chips/cookies. Three drawers of candy bars and gum.  Multiple expresso and coffee machines.  Foosball, Golden Tee, ping pong table, shuffle board table and 3 TVs.

All cool stuff when you're 25.  Not a priority when you're 35 and have a family.  Give me a competitive salary, good hours, solid benefits and I'll buy my own drinks.

Have a friend that works for a mid-size construction firm - the same, and even have freshly made salads everyday - healthy office place thing. He never has to bring in anything to eat.

my competitive edge gets the best of me sometimes. i'm sorry. i hope you can forgive me.

side note: i was subjected to two wiffle ball walk off losses in one month.

Guy said he when to THE Ohio State during a conference call. Do normal people do that too? I thought it was just athletes. Made it even weirder/funnier that he was a massive dork.

I work with a guy who went to OSU and he has never referred to it as THE Ohio State University.  And he is always blurting out dumb sports cliche's.

Just this week I questioned someone about that very thing. I don't know of any business that can legally mandate those kind of hours, whether it be five or seven days a week.

If you are salaried companies have WIDE latitude to enforce all kinds of expectations about working environment.  For most service sector, food service getting a promotion to manager can actually result in a pay cut per hour.

I work 7am to 5:30pm, 5 days a week. I also log on remotely sometimes in the evenings/weekends to answer emails and generally catch up on crap that I didn't get done while at the office. While the hours seem pretty long (10-10.5 hrs/day), it really isn't terrible at all...casual environment, beer friendly, ping pong/shuffleboard/darts/pool/etc in the office

Do you count the times you are playing ping pong/shuffleboard/darts/pool/etc as "work" hours?
