Facebook Tops List of Best Places To Work -- Again (cnet.com)
From a report: If you work at Facebook, count yourself pretty lucky. And not just for the free meals, on-site health care or new-parent benefits. But those things probably factor into the social-networking giant being named the best place to work in 2018 by jobs site Glassdoor. And it's probably been a good experience for a while, seeing how this is the third year in a row Facebook has been atop Glassdoor's list of 100 best places to work. If you don't work at Facebook, there might still be hope for you. Glassdoor said there were 40 newcomers on this year's list, including video game maker Blizzard Entertainment (at No. 28 on the list) and wireless carrier T-Mobile (No. 79). There are also three veterans that have made the list every year since it was introduced 10 years ago, including management-consulting firm Bain & Company (No. 2), search giant Google (No. 5) and Apple (No. 84).
Will Facebook have the compassion of Foxconn to put up suicide nets to prevent employees from offing themselves?
Does the employment agreement allow Facebook to harvest an employee's vital organs (assuming their ISP hasn't already gotten them first)?
Isn't everyone at Facebook a user of PHP? Does PHP show up on a random drug test?
I'll see your senator, and I'll raise you two judges.
The only "perks" I want are a humane amount of vacation time (3-4 weeks, as most of the world gets) and 40 hour weeks. Oh, and good pay. I can find my own social life outside of the company door.
I don't want to be enticed to live my entire life at work.
