Wah bener banget :) http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/13566026.htm -cut--- As soon as your supply of Twizzlers and Diet Coke runs out, so do your people. They leave the office to go home or go out to eat. And when people leave, even for a short lunch break, you can lose the rhythm . . . the hum of execution . . . to say nothing of that esprit de corps that comes with foraging for Pop-tarts at 2 a.m. or the creativity that accompanies your third Red Bull and fourth bag of Nacho cheese-flavored Doritos in an hour. I once worked for a start-up computing company that grew to $7 billion in annual revenue during my stint. In the early years we brought in doughnuts every morning. As time went on the doughnut bill got to be outrageous. So we cut back to doughnuts only on Wednesday mornings. Funny thing, our product launches began to stretch out. We were not moving as fast as we once had. When I asked the vice president of engineering what had happened, he said, ``You cut back the doughnuts! My guys used to get in here by 8 a.m. every day to get their favorite doughnut before it was gone. Now they come in around 9. I have 600 engineers in this organization, and I lost about 600 man-hours per day because you stopped the doughnuts!'' Why should junk food have this effect? Can a doughnut really motivate folks to come to work earlier? Sure. It's simple: People eat stuff at work they would never be caught dead buying and never allow themselves at home. It is compensation for long hours. And wholesome food really doesn't cut it. -cut--
