An employee benefit that should cost them next to nothing to offer too.
Like, they have enough money to buy fucking Activision but not enough to give their employees free access to their own service.
The thing is, if they don't offer these cheap stuff, they may have to do something crazy, like pay staff what they are worth. This definitely looks like a false economy.
Also, giving access to your devs also kinda makes them defacto testers when they're off the clock.
Like... getting your own people to use your product is a net positive.
Actually though. You see this in other industries too but once shareholders are involved everyone's brain becomes smooth and creamy.
Microsoft staff aren't hurting for money. They get paid a lot, and they have amazing benefits including dozens of perks like this.
Thats an abusive relationship if I‘ve seen one.
Employer/Employee is an inherently abusive relationship.
Often, yes. But you can’t take responsibility away from employers. I have been one and I behaved responsible. I didn’t become a billionaire because greed is always abusive.
