- As of [[2020-12-12]] I work for Google. I have done so for eight years.
-
A good employer.
- My coworkers tend to be great-to-amazing.
- Compensation is good.
- Many of the company's products are useful.
-
I'm not a huge fan of ads but I think that showing/seeing ads in exchange of free services is a reasonable proposition, when it's clear.
- It'd be better if it was always optional.
Once when I was younger I found myself in google Cambridge. I was perhaps a [[stan]] for google, making everyone aware of my android [[superiority complex]] (I am slightly autistic), before I understood what google really meant for me as a consumer. As an employee, however, it is a far fetched dream. I recall everything, the secret nap room, the healthy-snacks-but-shh-down-here-we-keep-[[oreo]]s, the [[firepole]], even the texture on the elevator doors. It must have been 10 years ago, but dreams die hard.
I now understand life is never really going to amount to personal-projects-on-company-dime and [[nap]] time, but a large part of me still dreams to experience that work space.
Perhaps one day I will be good enough, until then that's why a [[dream]] is a [[dream]]
Thanks for reminding me Flancian ;)

As you may have heard my employer [[Google]] is cutting 12000 jobs.
Many of those affected in the US woke up to their corp access gone and a compensation package.
In other locations people will have to wait weeks to learn if they are affected; until then we all know there's some probability we could go.

I sometimes dream that I started the [[revolution]] two years ago at #Google and nobody noticed.
