When employers can't afford pizza parties, they come up with stuff like "dogs at work"
I mean I would fucking love somme puppies at work. but also pizza. pizza is good.
my old workplace used to have free breakfast which was the shit. freshly baked bread from local bakery and all sorts of toppings too, it was so nice to go to work, do stuff maybe 30minutes and just go to coffee break and eat some super good bread. and that was every day

I'm allergic to dogs and don't drink, bad recruiter, shoo! Shoo! spray bottle noises
So you're saying there are no cats? That could be a problem.
I'm glad my workplace has a cat. Although, the cat does cat like things at the most inopportune moments.

At least 6 is the standard now for IT in general.
The only happy hours are the hours you don't work by going home early. About 2 hours per work day, to be exact.

I wish I hadn't needed to learn these lessons about start ups by working in start ups. I just want to be a mailman or something at this point.
That's crazy to me because I had the exact opposite experience. I went in hoping for a certain amount, and they offered me knowing full well what I was hoping for, 20,000 more. Plus all the other benefits like video games and dogs at work. In fact I don't think I've ever had a bad experience with startups except that your job is essentially temporary cuz they will either close or sell
Hah I was about to say that only bad part of startups that I’ve had was that you weren’t sure if you’d have a job six months from now. I probably just got lucky and jumped on board during the “throw cash at everything phase”
If they offered you 20,000 more than what you expected, might be you are underselling your actual worth and could have negotiated for more.
Or they knew they weren't going to last more than 1 year, so why not spend all that tasty VC money?

That or dumb money is just dumb, and if the cost of money is free, you can just guess at things that might work with thousands of monkeys hitting typewriters.
I worked at a tree farm in my teens and honestly if I could still do that making what I make now I would be all over that. Always outside, in great shape, got to run heavy machinery, it was great.

I misread the last one as “Drugs as work, happy hours”.
No that's WFH jobs
My last job offered free beer after 4pm on fridays.
It was smart as fuck if you think about it. For the small price of a few crates of beer, you got 20+ people talking in their free time, and on the weekend, without additional pay. It was officially off-work but since most of your coworkers were there, there was a lot of work-related exchange going on.
