Kind of a first-world problem.

A lot is made of a company 'culture', and frequently perks are pointed out. Well, sorry, culture is what is left when the chips are down, the perks are gone, and its time to work your way out of the hole.

At Google, as the article said, when perks dried up folks left. Those folks were never part of their culture, they were what's known as freeloaders.

So why not be a freeloader? I don't know, I just feel kind of sticky when I find myself in that position. I would much rather be part of a small company, doing whatever it takes to be successful because its MY company.
