Who wouldn't love to be employed at Google? Just look at some of the complaints issued by their workers:


- The gym is too far away from my office! If they had made a gym in our building I would've visited it. I don't feel like walking for 100 metres to the next building!

- I haven't received a free tennis racket for almost 3 months!


- These $100 earphones the company gave me are spoiling my haircut!

- When I'm sent on business trips to some of the other Google offices around the country, the food there is alien to me and I don't know what to eat!


- 5 out of the 8 t-shirts they gave me for free, are black. This pisses me off. I like blue t-shirts more!

- We made a catapult out of the office furniture, but the ceiling is too low and we can't launch the oranges any further than 45 metres away!


- When we were sky-diving during our team-building, I was promised 50 seconds of free fall. But when I later watched the video, turns out I only had 41 seconds of free fall!

- Just as I get used to the new phone they gave me, they come up with a brand new model and I have to study it anew!


- I don't see any difference between the "Relaxation" program, the "Recovery" and the "Power surge" program on my massage sofa!

- There's a rather limited variety of arcade games at our office, and I'm forced to visit the next building!


- When I go to the kitchen to take my free soft drinks, turns out they've just put them in the fridge and the drinks haven't cooled yet. How am I supposed to work this way!?

- I get so full after breakfast, I can't get properly hungry by lunch time!


- The couch in my office is not large enough for me to stretch on it in my full length!

- There's just one couch in our games room and I had to play Call of Duty in a fucking sofa!


- Because I have 14 meals a week at Google, it's cheaper to eat at their cafe or in the restaurant, rather than buying my own food. In result, I haven't cooked at home for almost a year, and I've lost my cooking habits now!

- When I work at home I have to cook my own lunch and dinner!


- My colleagues ate all the pizza at lunch and I was forced to eat a steak!

- I've gained weight due to all that food they give us for free!


- We were at a team-building in Hawaii and I burned in the sun!


- My work place is located in the middle between the two kitchens, and every time I have hesitations which way to go!

- The chalk for the billiard cue doesn't match in colour with the lining of the pool table!

Isn't it surprising how if a company decides to treat its employees well they don't need to unionise...

Remember this is a post about how *weird* google is, for treating its employees well.

As someone who has never talked to a Google employee or been to Google's offices, I can assure you that they are all 100% accurate.

You doubt a complaint that can be paraphrased as "let them eat steak"?

Sounds like a typical Hi-tech sweatshop. I've experienced the agony of a restaurant at Apple headquarter's in Austin (my daughter works there); they didn't even give me a pickle with my cheeseburger... inhuman!

A Californian company going to Texas and serving burgers without pickles, that's just cultural imperialism plain and simple. I suppose they put ketchup or avacados on it as well.

No problem. Consider it sorted out! Next time you get 65 seconds of free fall. Buh-bye!

"Google is associated with liberal causes and has been criticized for catering to communist China in censoring information from the people as requested by dictators."

"Much of Google's business depends on pornography. For example, 25% of search engine requests are for pornography."

"Google officially supports the liberal and social libertarian cause of so-called "same sex marriage."

So yeah, it's a conspiracy!

- There's just one couch in our games room and I had to play Call of Duty in a fucking sofa!

Where in the world are couch and sofa not synonymous? What is the difference?

*If* there is a difference (there isn't) it would be that a sofa is an upholstered bench seat with a back, and a couch is made of squishy.

When I work at home I have to cook my own lunch and dinner!

Trufax, I know a google engineer who did go in to eat (can't cook) but worked at home during day.

DAILY QUOTE:
"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
