Summary
Recall.ai gives every employee a company card for gas, parking, Waymo rides, breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks to support a five-day in-office schedule.
Zhu said San Francisco gas costs $6-$7 a gallon and the policy is meant to remove barriers to office attendance by making work "easier than home."
LinkedIn critics argued the perk does not solve long commutes, with some saying hours lost in traffic matter more than reimbursement and questioning why a software company needs full-time office attendance.
Other commenters backed the approach, calling commuting and parking a hidden cost for workers and a model for employers that require staff in the office full time.
