Everybody works for money Karen. Your company is not so great to be working for free. And I bet you also work for a salary.
As a tangent to this post: why dafuq people always asks "WhY dO yOu WaNt To WoRk HeRe???" Bitch I need to work to get money, otherwise I would be trafficking drugs for your kids Karen
I think the point is that everyone works for money, wherever they work. The question is about why you choose that company to earn a salary, rather than another.
I think it's a good thing that companies have to compete for candidates with more than just salary. Job conditions are also important. Holiday days, parental leave, WFH etc. However, it needs to be in the contract.
There is a lot to be said about secondary benefits, but also work environment. I've seen way too many times people get lured with money, just end up working for the big 4 in consultancy and having a miserable life
