If Google ever asks you if you'd like to work for them,

You should answer "HELL YES!"

Ever want to take a look inside Google?

Google solar array at their Mountain
View, California world headquarters

Today, Google employs approximately
20,200 people around the world, receiving
a resume every 25 seconds from eager
job-seekers, hiring an average of nine new
employees a day.

A full-size replica of Virgin Atlantic's
Spaceship One (space tourist vehicle)
hangs in the reception area.

Exercise Facilities
============================

To work off the pounds, and the stress . . .

Google has its own state-of-the-art gym
offering supervised weight-training and a
host of exercise machines, rowing
machines, lockers, shower rooms and
two swim-in-place wave pools.

Other perks include free haircuts, dry
cleaning and laundry, child care, car
services, chiropractors and five on-site
doctors available for employee care and
periodic check-ups, all free of charge.

Perhaps the most unusual bonus of all -
employees can bring their dogs to work
with them and keep the four-legged
canine in their offices.

We already know that working for Google
has certain advantages but, believe me,
this giant of a search engine takes the
welfare of its employees seriously as
shown by this decompression (stress)
capsule that is impermeable to sound
and light.

floors. There are also poles available
between floors which are similar to the
ones used in fire stations.

Google is a front company for the military-industrial complex, openly financed by the CIA and NSA. The herd can be easily tracked and managed.

I would not work for such an evil corporate borg whose stated goal is to conquer the internet.

Shrubwise · #4 04-19-2011, 01:19 AM

Wrong again, Naez. It's a U.S. law to not sell stress bubbles to evil corporations.

Google is all that is good. I mean look at the cookie selection!

naez · #5 04-19-2011, 01:27 AM

and what do you make of Eric Schmidt attending last years bilderberg? Hrmm hrm?

Shrubwise · #6 04-19-2011, 01:29 AM

He was there offering some of Google's delicious cookies, of course.

Next.

Google owners are commies.

GO RED!

All of the perks are really all just a way to keep people at work as long as possible. It's all regular cubicle jobs just like any other corporation.

My guess is either doggie style or on her knees. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
