perk
A corporate perk is the sugared candy dole out by employers, a fleeting sweetness destined to vanish under the guise of cost-cutting. It delights employees for a moment only to mirage away when truly needed. Often most useless when most coveted, its true purpose is to sustain the illusion of employee satisfaction. While free coffee and gym memberships are dispensed with a smile, wages remain frozen, and workers unwittingly buy into the joy of labor.
