Die New York Times über die Nettigkeiten, die Google den Angestellten angedeihen lässt (u.a. Waschmaschinen am Arbeitsplatz), und dass Google die Nettigkeiten eher ausbauen statt zurückschrauben will: Employee motivation is tied to sundry conveniences and happy stomachs, or so it would seem. When Google filed its initial public offering plans in April, it enumerated employee benefits like those washing machines, free meals and doctor visits at company offices. It warned prospective investors to "expect us to add benefits rather than pare them down over time."
