Are you by any chance in government and it was a private sector agency offering, like, a really cool, family vibe, like, you know, we work hard, but we play hard? We also have a ping pong table and free muffins?
I experienced similar in the past. They seemed to think their 'trying really hard to be like Google' schtick would make me ignore the worse benefits and salary.
I do, but out of paranoia the driver will skip it and drive straight to a depot without realising they still have a passenger. This may have happened to me when I was in primary school ๐
