Article's rather disingenuous. Google's perks list is still Extensive - trimming services out of fiscal concern isn't the same thing as switching to a minimalistic "be glad we give you anything at all" approach.

And how much of it's just PR from Schmidt to avoid looking like they're out of touch with the current economic situation?




We did rework the micro-kitchens, but there's still some solidly awesome junk food there. (pocky!)


And there you have it. Given that Pocky is decidedly overpriced and overhyped, the fact that Google's serving it is proof that they're still perk-happy!


IS it really expensive? How do you measure these things? Relative to salary? Relative to other company's perks bill?


Good question! I've no idea. Maybe by how often it's used?
