Now days, everyone wants to work in Google. Snappy Essays discovered, that it doesn’t even matter, whether a person is an IT-specialist at all. He or she would still love to work for Google. Everyone has heard that working for them might be the most satisfying job possible. But how did it happen? Why today so many people so desperately want to join the Google? Why not other big IT-corporations, but exactly them?
The story of Google has a lot of resemblance with the story of Henry Ford. Ford was one of the first person to realize that working people to death might not be the perfect business structure. He gave his workers two weekends, an 8-hour workday and a reasonable salary. These things seem so obvious today, but back than people were lining up for any opportunity to join the Ford company.
Google’s story resembles Fords in a way that Google has also understood that treating employees well is a key to success. In its early days, Google has launched a huge benefits campaign for its employees, and it paid off well. What is so special about it?
First of all, Google offers competitive salaries. This is the most obvious ones, but people who work there never feel undervalued. Another thing is the fact that Google has adopted an open-office technology. What does it mean? Well, it means that instead of being locked into cubicles, employees can freely move around the office, do whatever they think needs to be done and relax when they feel like it. There is no: “Sit in this chair and work from 9am to 5pm”. Every employee has a task and he or she can perform it however he or she likes.
People get hungry. It’s a biological fact. However, Google employees can have gourmet foods right where they work for absolutely no charge. The company offers free food for its employees which is an extremely nice thing to do. Also pets are allowed here. Like for real. People can simply bring pets to work like it’s no big deal.

Google is a tech company. And a very successful one at that. People line up before store for day to get their hand on some of their products, but guess what? Google employees can take a sneak peek and actually use some of these products before they hit the shelves. It’s not forbidden by the company; it is even encouraged.
Many people think that if a person is getting everything at work and isn’t actually forced into doing something, how come that everything is still working just fine? Why nobody is getting lazy? Well, the truth is that when an employee is treated nicely, he or she will most likely do anything they can so that their company remains on top.
This is the story of Google. This is a story of how treating people nicely truly proves beneficial for everyone.
