My company had a similar year once and came up with a similar solution... But instead of beanbags, the brought in a pinball machine, a Foos-Ball Table and a sit down head-to-head old school arcade game (possibly run on a Raspberry Pi, but it's pretty cool) Basically every 8-16 bit game you can remember playing at an arcade is on this thing.

Everyone wanted a raise... but it was a bad year. I'm reasonably sure that all three units came from someone's house - so it was free to the company. But, 5 years later, at least once a day, you'll find 4 folks in there having a 2 on 2 game of foosball.

NOTE: I went to grab a pic of a foosball table in case folks didn't know what it was ... WayFair has this one on sale... For some reason, I thought it might catch @meesterboom 's eye.

Just add a pudding filled condom and you've got paradise.

Lol, that is a hilarious table!

That would be magnificent if they got us something like that. They think they have hit the jackpot by getting us soft furnishings but dont seem to realise we could do with a bit of fun!

They have promised us a terrace on the new building. Apparently it is north facing, which in Scotland is the kiss of death. They cant get anything right!

I'm not complaining (much), but when I started here, we also had a pool table and beer on tap (2 taps). But, once we were acquired by an American firm, the American lawyers thought that beer on premises wouldn't portray the right image..... I agree and disagree all at the same time.

To be fair, the taps were only unlocked if someone who had their "Smart Serve" certificate was in the room.
