Recently I had the pleasure of dining at Google's NY headquarters (not pictured at right). It was a modest-enough cafeteria setting, albeit with topnotch food and of course great company!
Prior to that, I had the curious experience of viewing a few analogous scenarios at Old Media companies. Here, you could glimpse dozens (what seemed like might be hundreds in a good year) of company execs settling down to leisurely lunches in lavishly-appointed dining rooms.
In related news, a recent article about Yahoo! (was that in Business 2.0 or Fast Company?) revealed a rift that runs deep in that company, between rank-and-file and new economy bred execs, and the new Hollywood talent (like VP Lloyd Braun) that has been parachuted into the company.
Geek perks lavish? Not compared to the value they add to the economy. Not compared with those other guys.
