Good memories. When I saw the first two quotes, this one immediately came to mind:
"In the kingdom of burnout, the company with Fridays off claims the throne, while top talent lines up to serve."
I barely remembered the snack bar until you mentioned it, but I do recall that we used to offer meal reimbursements for recruiting lunches. I thought that was genius—it incentivized both the poacher and the target.
I also remember that with one team at Amazon (not Ads), I once saw a note stuck to the kitchen fridge complaining that someone had stolen their chicken salad. At the end of the note, they even attached a recipe to show others how to make it.

I'm laughing so hard at the sharing of a recipe so someone could make their own instead of stealing it.
