Bill Gallagher ripped out part of his warehouse to add soda machines, massage chairs, basketball hoops, and a lounge. Employees started treating the office like family, and he saw better hiring and retention. People actually wanted to come to work.
And I was like, man, selfishly, you're telling me I don't have to pay more than anyone else. I just have to have a great culture and then everyone's winning. And so, like, I went back that, I think that weekend I ripped out my whole warehouse. I added soda machines, massage tables or massage chairs, basketball hoops, Xboxes, 65 inch TVs, and I created this lounge. And I'm like, I'm going, I'm going to have the best culture in the Valley and. And I'm going to pay more. And then that's like, really when I exploded with not only being able to get people in the door, but retain them and make it to where, like, they love working here. And that's, you know, I'm sitting at the office right now. I can hear on the other side, like, people are laughing. People are, you know, they love to come to work. They spend more time here than they do at home. We want it to be enjoyable. We want them to feel like they're a family. And that's what it's about. That's why I come to work now. You know what I mean? Like, it's what makes life fun.
