Intel says it's bringing back free office coffee to boost morale after a rough year

Intel is reinstating free beverages for its employees at worksites as part of an effort to improve morale. The perk had been cut in September as part of cost-cutting measures, but the company has decided to bring back the complimentary coffee and tea. However, free fruits will not be restocked. Intel has faced setbacks in recent years, including missing out on opportunities in the mobile chip and artificial intelligence markets. The company has implemented cost-cutting strategies, including cutting employee benefits and announcing layoffs.

While government backing may offer a morale boost, experts believe Intel's long-term recovery depends on internal improvements and strategic customer engagement.

Dropbox CEO says employees appreciate remote work more than cushy office perks: 'they value flexibility a lot more than snacks'

Dropbox CEO, Drew Houston, believes that companies pushing employees back to the office are making a mistake. He views his employees as customers and wants to give them what they want, which is flexibility. Dropbox implemented a "virtual first" model in 2020 and is now 90% remote. Houston argues that going back to the office is like returning to movie theaters or malls - the world has moved on. He also states that flexibility wasn't an option in the past, and companies need to adapt to the changing needs and preferences of their employees.
