An experiment in 2020s incentivizing the workplace as a dot-com-era adult playground where work also occurs has ended with a whimper in downtown SF. Tech company Expensify is shutting down its bar, which it opened earlier this year, after six months.

It’s so insane to think of this being an office perk. Just there for you to use… My office has a kitchen…
This is one of the more baller ones for sure.
I work for a rapidly growing startup in a different industry and the most we have currently is a beer vending machine at one site that was inherited and P-Cards with the biggest limits I’ve ever seen. The only requirement with those is, “please don’t screw me.”
What are P-Cards?
They are company "Purchase" cards. They are often used for purchases for the office like supplies or other one off perks (i.e. food). In some companies they are separate from travel cards which can only be used for travel.
Company credit cards
That p-card policy is a financial fraud disaster waiting to happen. It's only a matter of when, not if.
Oh don’t worry, we have to expense everything. 😉
And I've got an ice maker and a bottle of Johnny Walker Black Label. Who needs the expense and time of a commute when their perk is right downstairs for me?
