AllonzeeLVGoogle is charging its employees $99 a night to stay at its on-campus hotel to help "transition to the hybrid workplace."
SpaceCadetWhat kind of 19th century style exploitation is this?
This kind of shit is why unions are needed.
We need unions for many reasons, but an employer offering optional housing onsite really isn't one of them. It's not like it's required to rent from Google to work there.
tryptaminev 🇵🇸 🇺🇦 🇪🇺99$ a night so maje it a round 100 so only 2200$ a month. thats a steal!
Flying SquidThese days, that’s cheaper than a lot of places rent for and you get free maid service. Fucking Google might have accidentally stumbled upon something helpful. And $99 a night is not profitable for the sort of hotel their employees would actually want to stay in, so they still lose!
MostlyBirdsThis is only a temporary promotion. Tge price is not going to stay at $99/night, and it’s not an alternative ro rent, but in addition to it. This is not permanent housing, they’re fucking hotel rooms.
I wasn’t being serious.
Hard to tell, honestly. Too many people saying shit like that unironically these days.
