Verkada, an IT security company in Silicon Valley, pays its employees to go out drinking. The company's CEO says the program is a way to strengthen team spirit.
Verkada is known for having intense and sometimes controversial policies regarding teleworking. In June 2020, the company implemented a strict policy requiring all employees to report five days a week. The company recommends that employees participate in this program once or twice a week, according to the CEO of the company, Filip Kaliszan.
