Google employees spend lots and lots and lots of time at the office doing techie stuff. Google execs figure if they can make the work place fun the workers will stay and be more productive…and they are. People like being in the office and happy employees are productive employees.

I’ve seen these pictures before and it’s just amazing! When you’re doing some creative working, changing the environment every now and then is really important. I bet this helps the workers a lot, when they’re actually on a break they have something to do instead of just going out for a bit, while still having work on their mind. I’m really familiar with this problem myself, I can sit a whole day at the computer trying to design something, but if I’m stuck, I’m stuck for the rest of the day unless I have something else to do when I’m taking a break (which is one of the reasons why I bought an XBOX 360 a while ago!).

I’m torn between wanting to think it can’t be real and passionately looking for google jobs. When I think of how my coworkers and I are crammed into a non-lounge where we are constantly tripping over each other and each other’s bags … sigh.

If it doesn’t then the people doing the excessive indulging aren’t the right people for the job.

My word, the food and drink would certainly be handy for those late night meetings.

That would be awesome… probably stay a lot longer and work a lot harder, and of course the job would still get done but with a smile instead of a snarl for most…
