· Free Press Journal
A viral post on X by a user named Nisha Anandani has sparked a debate about workplace perks and etiquette after she complained that her flatmate, who works at Google, brings office food home and fills their shared fridge.
Anandani wrote that her flatmate brings home one-litre cans of milk, fruits and other items from the office. According to her post, the flatmate had been back from a trip home for only three days and had already taken over the entire fridge. Anandani did not name the flatmate, and the allegation is her account alone.

Google should probably be more mindful of who they hire.

My flatmate works at Google and brings home 1L cans of milk, fruits and God knows what else from the office.
It’s been three days since she returned from home, and she’s already managed to occupy the entire fridge.
Yes,…
She acknowledged that Google lets employees take food home, but argued that this does not excuse a lack of basic civic sense and consideration for people sharing a home. She ended the post by telling Google to hire better people, warning that otherwise people would look down on the company.
How users reacted
A user named Shalini replied that the post was quite accurate. She claimed that, because of a few individuals, management had considered closing the micro kitchen, and asked why people behave this way when Google pays enough to afford milk.
You'll notice that most such people are women.

Also, most of those videos showing people eating all day and working only a little are made by women.
How do they even get jobs at companies like Google? https://t.co/tgCYcS8NUj
Another user, Pritika, replied that some people never outgrow the "free hai toh le lo" mindset, even at Google. The Hindi phrase roughly translates to "if it's free, take it."
This is quite accurate, and because of a few individuals, management actually considered closing the micro kitchen. Why do people behave this way? Google pays enough to afford milk more than enough to sustain a good life yet some still do these things. https://t.co/Zf2IOpIr50

Perks and shared-space etiquette
The exchange touches on a familiar flashpoint: free workplace food, which many companies offer as a perk, versus how it is used outside the office. The posts do not say how often the flatmate takes food home or how much, and they do not include the flatmate's side.
