However, I did work at one company which provided catered dinners every evening for people who worked late, and bagels and fixings every morning for breakfast, and pizza lunch once a week. And there was no charge or tax. In the time when Google was starting, all the dot.coms provided perks like that. They had to, to get and keep the best people. The perks were ridiculous, but much appreciated says the woman who worked until nine or ten most nights.<BR/><BR/>Some of the ones in Silicon Alley had things like free dry cleaning and laundry services, picked and delivered, on site masseurs, and stuff like that. Man, it was amazing. <BR/><BR/>I worked for a dot.com that flew the whole company to Las Vegas for a long weekend at company expense, everything first class. They had offices across the US and in four other countries! A couple hundred employees. Everyone. Free. No taxes on it for the employees.<BR/><BR/>Those were the days, she says from her rocking chair. I'd still love to work for Google.ZaZahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12612336460423701718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-1141265064714222312006-03-01T18:04:00.000-08:002006-03-01T18:04:00.000-08:00Oops.

I'll bet the IRS will make Google put the cost of the free meals on the employees paycheck so they can get their share.
