Today, it happened again. An employer sent me an email that went something like this:

JP, we need to attract young, talented employees. We also realize that will require changing our culture so that millennials want to work for us.

Below is a list of benefits we’d like to offer to transform our culture. Can you recommend vendors for each of these benefits?

  • Student loan assistance

  • Pet insurance

  • Genetic testing

  • Wellness

  • Gym membership discounts

  • Financial wellness

  • Alien abduction insurance

  • EAP

  • Foot massage therapy

  • Acupuncture

  • Ice cream social vendors

  • Zombie apocalypse planning

  • Adulting 101 classes

Thanks for your help.
