I'm working in the Wrong Office

I have posted here the infographic called planet Google. Here is the next part



Google Solar Array Mountain View, California Today, Google employs 20,223 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

To work off the pounds, and the stress . . .
Google has its own state-of-the-art gym . . . offering weight-training and a host of exercise machines, rowing machines, lockers and 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 onsite doctors available for employee 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.

Moving around the complex:

A slide allows quick access from different floors...
There are also poles available....they are similar to the ones used in fire stations.


Food

Employees can eat all they want for free from a vast choice of food and drink, whipped up by in-house chefs.

Typical Google Lunch



Work Station:

Each employee has at least two large screens. There are 4-6 'Zooglers' per office.


Innovation:

Large boards are available just about everywhere because 'ideas don't always come when seated in the office'says one of Google's managers.


Leisure.

Pool tables, video games, etc. are available in many areas.


Communication.
On each floor, there are private cabin areas where employees attend to personal affairs.


Health:

Professional massage therapists are available.

Rest ...

There are many books in this library...even some about programming!

I Would like to time out there

Thanks Max for making us all feel so good about our jobs. ha, ha. Should we say: "Google Spa and Resort ********** Rating?" What a utopia!
As the saying goes: "Only in America!" I'm quietly wondering to myself, how do the employees spend their vacations and free time? Maybe they mow the lawn or volunteer cleaning horse stalls at the local farm. Pick apples. Polish silverware. Scrub the toilets.
As one of their fortunate and extremely loyal employees, I'd be working loads of overtime- every week- without pay if necessary.
My favorite visual is the shiny, metal slide, but it could pose a real problem on the days when you'd decide to wear a mini-skirt, wheeee....the Marilyn Monroe effect.
Whistle while you work.

Oh, I also work in the wrong office haha. I like these huge white boards everywhere and a massage availability.
But if Google is receiving a resume every 25 seconds from eager job-seekers, my chances look small. Nice post, anyway.
