    Better salaries score highly - but money isn't everything.

    It's ping-pong tables, isn't it?

      More the kind of team that you would use the tables with. We had :beer:, a barbeque and a dartboard hidden in a closet of the kitchen in a previous company. We had spontaneous dart games after lunch, we stayed after hours and grilled something, made LAN parties in the meeting room (even with the director of the branch location)... there was a really cool working clima, you could hear laughs several times a day... that were good days... even when my payment was way less than now.

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

          It would be good enough if some of them treat us just as normal people... :sigh:

            Already have a ping pong table, but I am a one person shop.... So Wednesday I am having a pinball (real, not virtual) machine delivered. Rental agreement, I will get a different machine every two months. Employee wellness program!

              At the Analytical Chem Lab I worked at, we generally played four handed cribbage in the afternoons; or euchre or pinochle

              Thar's only two possibilities: Thar is life out there in the universe which is smarter than we are, or we're the most intelligent life in the universe. Either way, it's a mighty sobering thought. (Porkypine - via Walt Kelly)
