Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, who has since moved on to greener and perhaps more dangerous pastures, told an audience of Stanford students recently that “Google decided that work-life balance and going home early and working from home was more important than winning.” Evidently this hot take was not for wider consumption, as Stanford — which posted the video this week on YouTube — today made the video of the event private.

They have nap pods, full restaurants, and snack bars, and "fun" office spaces so you don't want to leave the office.

Someone I knew worked there and wouldn't actually buy groceries. He just at at the office for all his meals. He didn't own a car. Rode his bike down or used public transportation.

It saved him like several hundred per month.

They know this and will try to use it as a way to suck you in and keep you in the office longer.

It's pretty easy to be in the office and not working. Especially with all those different places to get lost. I really doubt that works out the way they want it to

Sounds like you could practically live there like you would from home almost
