I admit I have heard now twice of meals being part of a compensation package.
What form of compensation is “meals” beyond “free food at work”? (I do understand company cafes and sushi bars and whatnot).
But if they’re being offered more than lunch at the office, they’re expected to work long days, is what that suggests to me. Unless the “meals” compensation includes fresh-boxed dinner subscriptions or restaurant gift certificates or something.
