The snooker table is not a perk.
It's the architecture review meeting.
It's where we figure out whether
the thing we're building is worth building.
Between shots. Over chai.
While someone is missing an obvious pot.
Don't ever turn it into a gimmick.
Don't put it in a recruiting deck.
Don't post a picture of it.
Just keep it where it is.
Centrally placed. Always free.
The food downstairs is not a perk either.
It's not there to keep anyone late.
It's there because best work
doesn't always happen between 9 and 6.
And when it doesn't,
we don't want hunger to be the thing
that gets in the way.
The same goes for the tea runs.
The bookshelf nobody manages.
The console nobody asked HR to approve.
The desk that doesn't have your name on it
because nobody has assigned seating.
None of it is decoration.
All of it is how we think.
If somebody ever asks
"what's the perks list at Skcript",
tell them we don't have one.
We have a place we want to be at.
Mostly because the people in it
are the ones we want to be around.
Keep it that way.
Don't let it become a brochure.
Don't let it become a benefit.
Just keep it real.
