@robharper - you are one lucky bastard!We have to buy our own coffee. And the nearest coffee place is owned by the CEO's brother-in-law's kid. Talk about a conflict of interest...
Well not to get all local but...This article just shows why companies in the Valley need to get together and help get BART to San Jose! One thing that never made any real sense in the Bay Area is that BART, which is the underground Rail that right now in the northern part of the bay area, does not run to the one place where now a vast majority of the jobs are.I can see companies helping with the cost to get BART to the SV, and help traffic. And it will even keep the green people of the Bay Area all happy!
You know, some employees DO live in Google Corporate Housing. I've never been there but one of my friends lived in a GApartment for a month and apparently its really really nice (but not free. quite expensive.)As for Google Cigarettes, that would not jive with the companies "eco-friendly" and healthy employee mantras.The Vodka would be something to see :)
Which is about the same time it would take if you drove during commute time to get to San Jose from the Financial District. You don't have the stress of driving to worry about for me it was time well spent. I did it for a year it's not ideal but it works.
