Employers try to boost sagging morale ... with free food?

By Paul McNamara on Thu, 06/11/09 - 10:31am.

Here's a story in the Boston Globe this morning that offers the dubious proposition that struggling companies that have had to jettison lots of workers are making it up to surviving employees by tossing barbecues and offering other cheap eats.

Allow me to summarize: "We've fired half of your co-workers, doubled your workload and cut your pay: Here, have a hot dog."

Now I like free food as much as the next guy, but let's not get carried away with the power of potato salad.
