Our office is in the midst of a heated disagreement on steps that should be taken or not taken to improve the lunch service. Typically in China, lunch in the company cafeteria is provided free to employees and paid for by the company. This probably harkens back to the days of proper communism when the work unit provided work, housing, food, and clothing.Lunches are also a major driver in employee satisfaction with the job and the company. At the moment, it seems that our Wuxi R&D center is driving a lot of employee dissatisfaction because the food is terrible. Now in my book, all company-supplied lunches in China are bad, just to different degrees. The Suzhou factory was near the top of the lunch quality scale, while my new work location, Wuxi, is near the bottom.
Our general manager and his staff think the food is just fine. All of the employees and managers from other organizations think the food is awful. Just in time to support the "food service is bad" argument, my colleague Welington found a bug in his lunch today. Yeccchh !
