She said:
"Then the work environment here provides food, sometimes it could be snacks. Every work environment must have a kitchen. The kitchen must have a fridge where there are snacks that you can always go to eat, and where you can have coffee. And it's always, always comfortable. At least you feel like you're not being used."
