Fellow WPPer and PMN mom Kengkay tagged me to show my workplace and here it is:
When I’m at home, I usually work on the bed surrounded by my laptop, journal, organizer and book so that when I get bored doing one thing I can easily shift to another. (I’m just fickle like that.)
Since I was little, I’ve always done my writing and reading on the bed. I like sitting with my legs crossed and having pillows propped all around me. Or if I’m in a very lazy mood, I’d do it lying down.
This is a habit I’ve carried until I grew up that’s why I never felt comfortable sitting on a chair and doing work on a table. Even when I’m at the office, I’d always cross my legs under me even while sitting on a swivel chair.
When I put up my own company and have my own office building, I’d require mini beds and bean bags instead of swivel chairs for the offices.
And maybe when I get really, really rich, I’d put up my own Google-like office.
The dream workplace
Google topped Fortune magazine’s list of the 100 Best Places to Work in America.
This video of NBC’s “Inside Look at Google” report amazed me so much, it makes me want to work at Google.
Imagine having gourmet food, massages, medical services, swimming pools, gym and game rooms at your workplace everyday all for free! No wonder Google is the dream work place.
With Google’s success, I think several companies can pick up a hundred and one lessons from Larry Page and Sergey Brin on how to value employees by providing the best possible work environment.
Fortune magazine notes:
It’s easy for Google’s people to be energized when their company is so stinking rich that it continues to ooze cash even while lavishing benefits on its staff.
Is Google’s culture the cause of its success or merely a result? Put another way: Is Google a great place to work because its stock is at $483, or is its stock at $483 because it’s a great place to work?
I’d like to think Google’s stock is $ 483 because it’s a great place to work.
Happy and satisfied employees contribute a lot to the company’s success. With a company that takes care of employees and boosts their creativity, you can be sure that your workforce would want to give back with winning productivity.
Now I’d be sure to remember that when I start my own company.
P.S. If you’re reading this, you’re tagged!

I have a friend who’s just started working at Google, and he says it’s ALL true. He even takes home the food he gets at the gourmet cafeteria and no one cares. Haha. Sigh, I wish my workplace was like that.
