One of my best friends was in town this past week visiting me and helping me break into the summer. She works for Google in Amsterdam and as she was describing to me the perks of being part of the Google family I couldn't help but wonder, "what if Google rand the DOE (dept. of education)?" As a Google employee you're given free range of the offices breakfast and lunch buffets and snack bar. Also it offers incentives to its employees that are struck with the travel bug... the company allows you to essentially do a job swap with any other employee anywhere around the world that also works for Google. Can you imagine living in New York, but always wanting to live in California or Amsterdam for a year or two, but not wanting to lose your job and start completely over?
Well, Google is perfect for the young professional still infected with wander lust. Google in one to something with the way in which they treat their employees and run their business. I would not only be at work on time everyday, but I would be early if my school even offered free coffee in the mornings. I would stay in the office more if I didn't have to run out to get lunch everyday (which eats up half my lunch time). And, one of the best perks is that I would no longer be stuck with a crappy DOE given email address that holds only about 10 emails and that can't be forwarded to any other (preferred) email provider.
*sigh* If only Google ran the DOE.
