was the investment of the company for employee lounge productive in employee-employer relationship?

Question

mr.williams didn't feel he could afford a cafeteria, but the unused storage room would be a great lounge for the employees. The company had just completed a profitable year and mr.williams decided to give his employees a lounge.
The next week he had the storage room painted and new lighting in stalled and his wife bought several easy chairs,couches and three bridges table and chair sets. In addition,mr williams bought a pool table and a ping-pong table from a local sporting good store.
On the following monday mr williams announced the establishment of the employee lounge and with great gesture.he was quite surprise by the total silence that greeted his announcement.1 employee remarked 'if he made so much money,why he didnt give us a bonus?' followed by a few murmuring of 'yes' then the employees went back to work.
Since the lounge hes been established no one used it.2 weeks later,the furnirure was removed and it reverted to storage room status.

Answer 1

So, your queston is? Did he do more harm than good? How do you know the company was profitable? In who's eyes? Who said "he made so much money?" Sounds like your boss was trying to give something back to his employees and since it did not come in the form of a bonus, you totally snubbed his employee lounge. Does your job permit time for you all to actually get to use the lounge? Breaks, lunch time? I think it was a smart move that after no one appreciated the effort, or thanked him for him to return the lounge back to a storage room. He probably thinks you all are un-grateful. I work for a conservative company and we made a profit last year (I am the bookkeeper) BUT, we lost our butts 3 years in a row before that. Don't think for a minute because we had a profit it was to go and blow with. If you think your boss is un-fair, find another job.
