As an employee, knowing this only costs the company $5.00, this wouldn't even register in my "total compensation" calculations. I mean, it would be like them sliding the offer letter over the table and saying with a wink, "Annnnnd we'll buy you a double venti latte every month. Unbelievable, right?"
And don't get me started on actually trying to navigate these group buying offers. Every time I've tried to redeem one you're shunted off to some obscure buy flow: "Oh, you'll need to talk to our corporate accounts representative, do you have your company contract id?"
And to get a little meta here for a second: how lazy is ez-pr.com that they just link to their half-assed Google Spreadsheet. Or for that matter, how lazy is Business Insider that they just regurgitate this PR crap. And why are we even linking to this low-effort content?
