Also, it's just ingrained in their culture to be passionate about food :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-1160026567310062552006-10-05T01:36:00.000-04:002006-10-05T01:36:00.000-04:00Wow.

But that's not the case with Google. My friend said he works 40 hours a week and another person we had lunch with has 2 kids and goes home at a reasonable hour every night. Free dinner is not there for people working after 7:30 (like it is at most companies). You can take it home on your way out if you don't have time to cook. The farmer's market is something I would really appreciate. In Boston area, all markets happen in the late afternoon (around 2-6pm) and it's really hard for me to get there even if I leave work at a reasonable hour. So having a market on site would be great. <BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>-HelenHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12271344371852988017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-1159887516573757872006-10-03T10:58:00.000-04:002006-10-03T10:58:00.000-04:00It seems seductive, but I wouldn’t want to work th...It seems seductive, but I wouldn’t want to work there. Sounds like a ruse to get their employees to work 16-hour days and stay on “campus” as much as possible. (I wonder if they dorms. Why have a life outside work at all?) <BR/><BR/>No, I’d rather have my 9-hour a day job, complete with a crappy cafeteria and unheated toilet seats. Cooking, farmer’s markets, and haircuts should be leisure activities for which you have time outside work.Mrs. M. https://www.blogger.com/profile/11988934733961380885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-1159878933131982652006-10-03T08:35:00.000-04:002006-10-03T08:35:00.000-04:00Very interesting.
