>It's amazing how you can do without the necessities of life, provided you have the little luxuries.

No, I need good shelter and top end medical care, more than I need a pizza party with co-workers after work. I'm not 17 anymore to think unlimited fast food and Mountain Dew is the most amazing thing in life.

> But a company that isn't willing to spend a small amount of money on "frivolous" things

This is ZIRP VC funded bay area tech bro logic, who thinks money is infinite.

The problem with uncontrolled endless "small amounts of frivolous things" is that when you're a large company, it keeps ballooning adding up over time, to eventually enormous costs, adding to the cost of doing business which could just go to employee wages instead or discounts to customers to stay competitive. If your company industry is hit hard now (like mine was), by global events, you gotta cut all that if you want to keep people employed and survive as a company.

>Oh look, now the mask comes off.

What mask. Can you be more vague?
