It can be pretty rough out there at the minute, especially in the working world where long hours and rising standard costs of living make enjoying any hobbies you may have more and more difficult.The price of games is still rising, much to the concern of gamers across the globe, and it’s very possible that some may be priced out of their favorite pastimes altogether.
Thankfully, there are a handful of big companies out there that have the mental wellbeing of their employees at heart, and one of these is UK-based accounting and consulting firm Deloitte. For a while now, Deloitte has had an employee well-being subsidy program in place that allows US employees to purchase various goods that will be reimbursed, ranging from gym memberships to games consoles fromPlayStationandNintendo.
Deloitte Is Letting Employees Spend $1000 Of Company Money On Lego
Since 2021, employees have been given a yearly $1,000 allowance to spend however they please, but Deloitte has now expanded the range of items now available on the list of items covered by the program. From this point on, Deloitte employees in the US can now grab themselves as much Lego as they please, as long as they’re not going over their $1,000 allowance. I am extremely jealous.
According to one Deloitte employee whospoke with Business Insider about the changes to the program, most of the internal team chats were full of people now excited that they could cop some Lego on the company dime. Another employee tells Business Insider that the program has made “a huge difference” to their work-life balance, and that they enjoy having something to look forward to.
“Most of the responses are things like ‘Lego?!?!? Finally!’ or jokes about how they can now rationalize buying the coveted Millennium Falcon Star Wars Lego set.”
Of course, as a worker, you’re probably just looking for decent work hours and pay, but you take what you may get these days, and it’s nice to see that Deloitte is essentially providing a rather generous program to try and improve the lives of its workers when it really doesn’t have to. Now we just need to convince every company on the planet to do the same thing. I need some free Lego.
