Basically tools used by insecure managers to attempt to motivate people without paying them any extra. Employees aren't stupid either - they know that's what's really going on.

That's a big ten four good buddy... I had a lady friend who worked at one of those places, free food, parties, ping pong tables, even a masseuse would come in a couple of times a month... and they treated her like $hit, she worked crazy hours, we couldn't plan a trip because "they might need her" at any given moment, and they changed her job description ever few months. I told her "why are you so loyal to those people? The minute they feel they don't need you they will kick your butt out the door", and they did... and she got a better job. She now refers to that job as "those evil people".
