For 99 bucks there better be a great bed, amenities and other hotel like services. What a joke
Gtfo I thought I let my job take advantage of me
cheaper than most hotels, and certainly cheaper in any city the Google has a campus location at.

google ecosystem is better than anything else out there, prove me wrong

We need unions for many reasons, but an employer offering optional housing onsite really isn’t one of them. It’s not like it’s required to rent from Google to work there.

There are some companies that provide this for free.
99$ a night so maje it a round 100 so only 2200$ a month. thats a steal!
These days, that’s cheaper than a lot of places rent for and you get free maid service. Fucking Google might have accidentally stumbled upon something helpful. And $99 a night is not profitable for the sort of hotel their employees would actually want to stay in, so they still lose!
This is only a temporary promotion. Tge price is not going to stay at $99/night, and it’s not an alternative to rent, but in addition to it. This is not permanent housing, they’re fucking hotel rooms.
I wasn’t being serious.
Hard to tell, honestly. Too many people saying shit like that unironically these days.
Ah the 22 day month.
22 workdays in an average month.
They can just sleep on the streets on weekends.
they hopefully have some home and people to go to.
But they can pay their employer for the rest of those days.
You might want to mark that NSFW. Don’t want to be caught reading some discussion with the word union in it.
The sad part is that I can’t tell if this is a joke or not.

Sounds like Google is trying to reinstate company scrip.
Fucking company town. Google has become a real shit company. Switch your default search to duck duck go or anything else people!
searx
As awesome as it is, it’s still a meta search engine so you’d have to remember to exclude Google. Otherwise hosting your own search engine is mega cool!
yeah, using a someone elses public searx (like i do ) just seems unhygienic.
The new Brave search is pretty great.
Google sucks, search with ducks!
So this is absolutely a scummy move by google, no doubt, but google employees are some of the highest paid people in the world at this point. Boycott them if you want, but don’t feel like you have to right this injustice done to their employees, because they’ve still got it really good.
Edit: Just so this doesn’t come across as a crabs in a bucket type scenario, I am in this field and I am fortunate enough to make similar money, not as much, but equivalent in my country’s market. We are not the people that need fighting for, we’re the ones that should be fighting for others to have similar opportunities.
No I just mean the this is yet another item in a LOOOOOOOONG line of things where Google has gone the pure shit route.
In the last couple years, Google serves me more ads as search results than actual relevant results. The enshitification of the internet is real and I finally see it. I’ve have enough. Between Reddit, twitter, Google, SEO, Facebook and friends, Amazon becoming wish.con, etc everything is just going to shit. Maybe it makes me some old boomer dreaming of the glory days, but I’ve had enough. I refuse to be a product and I refuse to put any money towards these shitmaster overlords if there’s any way I can help it.
All fair reasons to use another service if that’s a deal breaker for sure
Thank you for defining the crab bucket mentally for everyone here!
You must have just missed my edit
Your edit doesn’t do it for me. You guys managed to get remote work, and now it’s being taken away. Do you think the pay scale has anything to do with what’s going on here?
Google still has fully remote employees, they’re asking non remote employees back into the office a few days a week. Last I heard you can still apply to transfer to fully remote.
We are not the people that need fighting for
At least not yet. Wait until the capitalists start replacing us with cheaper AI
Lol shiiit stay away from my job ChatGPT!
It may be cheaper than a hotel or apartment, but why should an employee have to pay to go to work when they could be working remotely?
What if I paid to live there, but still worked remotely from my apartment or wherever?
At $99/night it’s like renting for $3000/month. Even in silicon valley that’s pricey.
“Because fuck you, that’s why.”

God this dystopia is so boring
And evil.
You move 16 tons and what do you get…
Sooooooooooome people say man is made out of mud, the poor man’s made out of muscle and blood. Muscle and blood, skin and bone, a mind that’s weak and a back thats strong… You move 16 tons… whadaya get? Another day older and deeper in debt… St. Peter don’tcha call me because I can’t go…
I owe my soul… to the company store…
That South Park montage was genuine art, I swear.
For the uninitiated: https://youtu.be/74WvUV7H8Nw
First thought that went through my mind as well lol
If you see coming better step aside, a lot of men didn’t and a lot of men died. One first of iron and the others steel if the right don’t get you then the left one will…
Someone beat me to it
Obligatory reference to the Joe VS the volcano version of 16 tons
Isn’t that the dream for a capitalist! Labor that sleeps at work. Google takes it a step further and asks employees to pay for being able to sleep at work.
Mexico be like “tenemos siestas…”
They just need to implement a full company score!
Edit: Meant company store, but I’ll leave the original
Then they can start paying in scrip! Just like the robber-barons of old!
Holy hell boss.
I thought you meant something like china’s social credit score.
Get more points, you get a better chair and OLED screen or even a chance at a promotion.
Points go down, you get sent to a shitty cubicle at the far corner of the office. Then a verbal warning, followed by a written warning…

The score is just soulless “lo-fi beats” type of music played all over the grounds to avoid any one person ever having to sit alone with just their thoughts as background noise.
Labor that PAYS to sleep at work.
The advertisement entices workers to make the jump, even for a short while, to its on-campus hotel, saying: “Just imagine no commute to the office in the morning and instead, you could have an extra hour of sleep and less friction,” CNBC reported.
Did these stupid motherfuckers read their own ad??
No commute and extra sleep? That sounds great!
No wonder everyone is trying to WFH - the very same reasons you just listed.
LMFAO the only ones really pushing it are the ones invested in real estate
“If you lived here, you’d be at work by now!”
Didn’t gage company towns making a comeback on my 2023 Bingo card
You know, I used to respect Google. Used to.
