Best Employer...Google
11th day of September - A bloody boring day. Some people still having flashback about 911 and NY World Trade Center. Look ahead...life goes on...
I am counting my remaining days with present employer...exactly 80 working hours. Been sentenced to the cold corner since 1st day of the month. Whole day surfing and chatting online...occasionally insulting my intelligence to answer inquiry calls and casual discussion with peers. I guess that is inevitable since I will be joining a major competitor next. Suits me perfectly as I have no mood and not motivated to work at all. This may be the only time to relax and unwind before new job starts.
Come to think of it, it's been 20 fcuking years since I first started working...I can still recall my very first job only pays RM 350 per month (base) plus commission before a more permanent opportunity as a Programmer at a miserable monthly wage of RM 600. That is not even enough to cover my younger kid's monthly school fees today. Wonder how I can still go out pub hopping, party, and etcetera during those times.
Back to the original intend of this post, I am still waiting for an opportunity to work for a company such as Google after reading the following:
(perhaps no chance in Malaysia after SKMM screw up big time with the clamping down on Internet access to certain website)
This is probably the reason why Google wins the title of 'Best Employer' several years running. Google is said to be the dream job of a lot of people.
We already knew that working for Google had certain advantages, but, believe me, this giant of the search motor takes the welfare of its employees seriously...as shown by this decompression (stress) capsule that is impermeable to sound and light . . .
Moving around: A slide allows quick access from different floors . . . There are also poles available . . . they are similar to the ones used in fire stations .
Food. Employees can eat all they want from a vast choice of food and drinks.
INOVATION: Large boards are available just about everywere because
'ideas don't always come when seated in the office' says one of Googles managers.
Work Station: Each employee has at least two large screens.
There are 4-6 'Zooglers' per office.
LEISURE. Pool tables, video games etc. are available in many areas.
Communication. . . On each floor, there are private cabin areas where employees can attend to personal affairs.
Technical Support: Problem with your computer? No problem. . . Bring it to this area where drinks are available while it is being fixed. . .
Health: Professional masseurs (eusses) available.
REST. . . This room provides massage chairs that you control. . . while you view relaxing aquariums. . . . !!!
Ambiance. . . There are many books in this library . . . even some about programming!!!
Getting ready to join them yet?

We can only pray that one day Google Malaysia will execute its plan to start an operation here at Cyberjaya or Petronas Twin Towers....and lets hope they did not read anything about MCMC blocking the blogs and websites at our Internet space.

Hi Jessica,
The rumour has it that Google is considering investing and setting up a R&D facility in Malaysia. But, with all these blunders at MCMC recently and the current political sentiments, it could remain a dream that takes time to come true.
