Hovercraft posted:bcdc primarily doesn't like how they scour the shoreline wetlands yeah but given that this office park is located directly in the middle of a protected marsh it seems unlikely google would be able to use one that said "google hovercraft" is like crazy good brand synergy: noisy, impractical, people who don't know any better think they're awesome qirex fucked around with this message at 18:12 on Oct 6, 2014 |

flakeloaf posted:because it's safe to assume the security guard won't actually put himself in harm's way to protect your plastic toys, so there's no point paying him like he's secret service this isn't what i mean. having underpaid guards also means it will be easy to pay a few of them off to look the other way if you want to do something shady. no one's storming google hq guns blazing

The Management posted:no Silicon Valley company wants blue collar employees on their books. everything is outsourced, janitors, security, food prep, maintenance. whenever the blue collars get the idea that they want to unionize then either the contracting firm cracks down on it hard or the whole contracting firm gets entirely replaced. the chefs at Caffe Macs are Apple employees. I smile each time I remember that the sushi chef SJ personally brought to Apple has a higher net worth than 90% of the people that go through there. Caffe Macs owns

you mean your school gave permission to google to data mine you. you mean Google found a way to get a campus full of Google plus "activations". you mean the services that everyone else gets for free.. you now get for free too, but for you its a special deal somehow.
