free lunch

well, you know what they say, there's no such thing as a free lunch.
it's sort of true. my present company provides lunch and dinner, breakfast is diy.
it's partly the no such thing as a free lunch thingy and partly tradition.

in this industry, lunch used to be provided to those who had to work through lunch hour, the client usually 'works' through lunch as well coz the charges were like rm800/hour. not everyone in the company does so but a majority does that. this led to the company providing lunch.....what rm10 compared to rm800 (if the guys take an hour's break for lunch which usually means 11/2 to 2 hours).

now a days, the work is not so hectic anymore, but there will be times where one will have to work through lunch. since the company already have a coo, might as well get her to cook for the staff (food's limited,1st come 1st serve basis). keeps them in the office, and available all the time + most people see it as a benefit.

so there you have it. this is a strange industry.
