Looking at all that food I can never have for free, I certainly agree that Google values its employee, but’s like listening to someone telling you about all the fun stuff happened at a party you were not invited to.

Hi Stephanie — I kept wondering the same thing. The perks were amazing; not only free food, but massage chairs in common areas, pianos with earphones so people can play without others hearing, and lap pools for employees to use. And I’m sure there’s even more that I didn’t see. Google obviously does quite well financially, but I can’t even imagine how much these perks cost.

OK, maybe I’ve never worked for a big company with lots of perks, but this STUNS me. What the company must spend on food and labor–all given away to employees for free– must be vast. lucky, lucky googlites. But still…can this really be the smartest use of a company’s money? Free smoothies for everybody? And here I was just jonesing for a little health insurance at my 50+hour-a-week job…

Sorry, there just aren’t that many people who are fascinated by all things GOOGLE. All right, so folks at Google are soooo lucky to be working for a “cool” company. Many of us are out-of-work teachers/engineers/writers. An article like this is just not, not cool.
