As most people have pointed out, those server racks are going to be mighty loud so you can get rid of the phone. And it's going to be pretty cold all the time so get a nice warm jacket and something for your head.
Get a comfortable chair, definitely two nice large 20"+ LCDs, and a big wide (and deep) desk. Unless you like corner desks then I would suggest you get a regular one.
Also make sure that your desk or the wall behind the desk has some kind of cable organization so you can keep all your cables nice and neat.
As for the rest of the office I would demand that they build the rooms to account for at LEAST 5" of space between the wall and the desks. As it now, at my workplace, some desks are so close to the wall that it's almost impossible to get my hand back there and plug/unplug things. It's so annoying!
Also, unless it goes against building code, I would put the data and power outlets really close to the floor. No farther than 3" from the floor. And definitely make sure all the data outlets are labeled appropriately. (I assume you'll be using patch panels.) In a small company like mine, labeling of the outlets didn't happen during construction so I had to go around and do it myself.
Now you can dodge fists in the boxing game with your head. Now you can almost literally look around corners in a stealth game by leaning your head. Now you creep up to a wall and stand on your tippy toes to peak over. Now you can crouch behind a barrel to hide and stand up to shoot.
Because in this context that's a green movement thing and not a business decision. Offering free charges to employees with electric cars isn't about being green it's about attracting employees (or keeping them). Offering electric charges could entice a vast number more employees than telecommuting since most jobs require physical presence anyway.
And keeping tabs on remote employees is probably a lot more difficult than walking over to a cubicle and asking if the latest TPS report was received.
The US would be a better place if there were fewer employees/security guards/cops who followed laws mindlessly. Depends on the situation but I'd be inclined to agree.
Stupid goosesteppers are best circumvented or ignored if possible. No, you're absolutely wrong. That's why these problems are perpetuated. If people STOPPED ignoring and/or circumventing them and INSTEAD stood up to them, "stupid goosesteppers" would get the negative attention they deserve and things might start to change for the better. Get a clue.
Are you seriously and with all honesty equating what you did to what I suggested? How old are you? 5?
You realize of course that there's a difference between not lying and letting every bit of drivel that your mind can imagine come out of your mouth right?
If you, as a consumer, don't like the practices of a company, don't purchase that company's products and/or services. If you, as an employee, don't like the practices of a company, don't work there.
...ranging from $40.000 or so and up to $500.000... $40 to $500 (with an extra digit of precision on the cents thrown in for good measure) doesn't seem too bad. Those companies should be able to afford that easily!
Floor tiles that vary their height? Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen due to tripping.
I say the generators be installed on things that rotate. All doors and turnstiles. Especially those spinning doors on buildings.
An escalator that goes down would be a good place for a generator as well. It would use the weight of the person(s) standing on it to generate electricity. Of course there would have to be some gearing involved and a small computer, but in a crowded place there'd be plenty of weight (with the right gearing) to offset the controlling equipment's electrical needs (I suppose). The gearing would be how the speed of the device is controlled. Really high gearing for really high load. etc.
Same thing with elevators. On the way down use a really high gearing that would restrict the speed at which the elevator could fall but use that high gearing to spin a generator.
What they don't make clear is that anyone who is wanted for this crime is probably going to be arrested on their way to work causing serious hardship. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. That's what I always say.
