Ping pong tables are huge time sinks imo. And some other perks like that. A company where I interned just after college had a lot of perks. A great cafeteria where you could get anything for free, a gym and some pool and ping-pong tables.
End Result: People used to spend at least 2-3 hours of the day in gym/playing ping pong/partying in the cafeteria. Also they used to smell(cause they went to gym but were too lazy to wash up) in the meetings. Then if you needed someone's help then you had to wait until they came back from "play area". And no one used to complain about such a huge waste of time, cause no one wanted to be that guy who shut down the "cafeteria". Needless to say, they ran out of millions of dollars in 2 years, and Founders are in court for said "pocketing" the investors money.
