That’s kind of depressing compared to Ireland (specifically Dublin). Things are just so expensive here.

Consider that all these lunches are subsidised by the company, which if you think about it could have either completely subsidize or pay workers more and make lunches full price. This lunch format easily costs 8€ or more full price.

Side note: I actually do like for companies to subsidize lunch since it’s usually money that is exempt of taxes up to a point (depending on the region) so the workers save money by doing so.

I do like it as well when companies subsidize lunch, but one downside is that in practice, people with certain allergies can’t enjoy those schemes some/most/all of the time. While seeing their coworkers enjoying cheap food.

Most people are allergy aware these days I think ?

Plus in many cases, the food service is outsourced.

That’s a fair concern. I think it could be fixed by asking workers about food allergies and avoiding those foods. Unless it’s an absolutely massive company it should be feasible.

It’s win-win for the business. They use the money that could go to salaries to encourage employees to work more hours by staying in the office for lunch.

That’s not how it works in most places, working hours are fixed and breaks are typically mandated by law anyway, so you don’t get to go home early just because you skipped lunch.

Plus, a healthy and tasty meal, subsidized by the employer, certainly beats me shopping for the ingredients and cooking when it comes to price and time invested. An actual problem is rather having access to a place that provides food like that.

Looks good, but I’m happy we just get 8 bucks for every lunch meal and don’t depend on one place to provide proper food
