I believe this video from the Today Show best exemplifies the point I am trying to make about Google Inc. The company itself has recognized that with the benefits they give their employees in return the employees give them job loyalty and productivity. Despite the fact that you would think that these perks are costing Google too much money they continue to grow by huge margins. Google receives, on average, 3000 applications in one day, which speaks to their demand as an employer; people want to work for this company! Google's founders have also laid a foundation where they believe that hierarchy is bad and anything opposing it is good. This allows the employees to feel comfortable in the company and in return, the vice president states, "they will do almost anything for the company." The quote echoed most in this video clip is "I love my job!"

Great find! This is a perfect example of many of the themes we will be discussing in class. By the way, we have an alum that got a job with google several years ago right after graduation AND when the company was still pretty small.......I bet she is doing very, very well.
You could probably expand this item to fulfill the additional post requirement for midterm.
Thanks for adding this to the blog.
