There are many TVCs at Google for whom the free food is a non-trivial benefit. Think about cleaning staff or other low paid jobs.


FTI: TVCs are "temporary help agency workers, vendors, and independent contractors"

great point. I sometimes see TVCs absolutely loading their plates with food, and it makes me think about what a blessing it is for them to be able to access high quality food at least once per day.


I agree "for them to be able to access high quality food at least once per day" is a good workaround in the current economic climate but, is "blessing" truly the right word?

Don't you think "access to high quality food anytime they want for their whole family" (ideally through appropriate pay) be a minimum bar before they consider themselves, or we consider them, even close to "blessed"?
