In Silicon Valley, companies spend a fortune on "happiness" - catered lunches, employee off-sites, release parties, snacks and sodas and beer, interior decorating and office design, pool tables and ping pong, expensive hardware, gym memberships, etc.

It might be cheaper to just let people be at home!

Companies want happy employees who work, not happy employees who are doing their laundry.

They seem to want happy employees who are playing ping-pong more than either of those.
