You know, for awhile tech companies were encouraging this on site. Google had nap pods in the office.

They saw the benefits for a short time. But now that commerical real estate values are tanking...

Even still, they weren't doing that out of a genuine concern for employee wellbeing. They read the studies that said perks like nap pods and catered lunches meant people spent more time at the office without complaining. It was just a way to manipulate workers into more overtime.

And Google's shtick was basically "you never need to go home". Laundry? Pets? Nap? Food? Do it all here at work!
