This is a link post Google's new London HQ
Looks swanky, but is it really nessesary? Its not like theyre Pixar and feel the need to be immersed in a quirky, homely environment surrounded by inspirational stuff.

This is a normal post its social conditioning...
why have a work life and a home life when you can combine the two...

this environment is better than your apartment...

This is a normal post wow, people can sit round and stare at their iphones
it authentically recreates the ambiance of being on the tube

This is a normal post I always try my hardest not to gawp at my phone on the tube
I mostly gawp at email and facebook on my phone, and seeing as there's no signal, stabbing at your magic screen for the sake of it looks a bit sad

This is a normal post I've been to the Google offices a few times
The canteen there is something else. Loads of really nice food, all you can eat. Nice snacks, fruit fresh cakes, coffee and even it's own ice cream stall thingy.
All free, all of it for nothing. Mental.

This is a normal post Nope
Food is healthy, I think the newer employees go a little nuts to begin with then cut down.
Honestly, it's amazing.

Still, I guess it's nice to have something interesting to look at when you're working.
