Was “A ping pong table and enough free time in my schedule to actually use it for half an hour on a quiet day without the area manager coming in and demanding that we get back to work” too long?
Ill stay at an average paying job with a great culture, over a shitty culture and more money. But only to a point.
I think the issue most companies don’t realize is that we are forcing many people under a living wage, and at that point being paid better is the only thing that counts.

About 5 years ago our department manager bought us a barbecue for our warehouse.
It is still in it’s plastic wrapping. We have never had the time to get together as a group and use it.
I think that’s a stance that make different amounts of sense at different compensation levels.
You make $50k and someone offers a $75k salary? Then you’ll likely risk the culture. If you make $150k and facing a $200k offer? The bird in the hand might be seen as good enough, though you may angle for a counter offer.
