Travel channel covers the Google workplace!

I would even settle for being a janitor here.

I work in the public school system. Last week I ran out of markers for my white board. I asked my department head for some and she handed me one (literally one maker). When I asked for more, you know, in case my one marker goes missing, she said "We're being really tight with everything because of budget cuts, sorry..."

I left work and bought some markers for $5.

Good thing the Bush Tax Cuts have been extended, otherwise these companies might not be able to provide massages or fire-poles to their staff. And schools, with their frivolous spending on things like markers and paper for the copy machine (also not provided), will finally realize the errors of their ways.

Dont worry, the jobs are on the way though!!! Really!!!
TRICKLE DOWN MOTHAFUCKA!!!

I wish more employers understood that if you take good care of your employees and don't treat them like slaves that you'd get more productive work out of them and they'll want to stay at work longer!

and yet Google can't find a way to keep talent from leaving for facebook. i list probably 10-15 extremely high profile employees that left google for facebook. one guy was offered $500k raise and $5mill bonus to stay, he still left for facebook.

I think I would still like to work at Google rather than Facebook, just because of their open source appreciation.

facebook are also pretty big advocates of opensource. after all they opensourced hiphop and they are major backers and users of memcache.

but yes, I'd also would rather work at Google. as a matter of fact, Google, if you are reading this, (and i know you are), i'll do anything to work at Google. take a pay cut, or forfit any perks or do anything else for an opportunity to work there.

Google, if you're reading this, I'll murder someone to work for you. Anyone. (Please don't say my wife) Really. You have my e-mail address, etc.

My brother lives in California. Apparently the schools send a list of supplies for the parents to buy. No, not supplies for the kids, but supplies for the school. Parents are having to fund the school by buying reams of paper, etc.

At that point, you have to think that the school system is a bit underfunded, eh?

That doesn't even look like a real place, it's almost like ACME. It certainly seems like a reasonable way to get your employees to work longer hours when your work place is nicer than your crib.

The office of my last job didn't even have a bloody coffee machine.
