Initially, I thought The Onion published this; Google Invites Employees to Sleep 'On Campus' for a Fee. Google is charging its employees $99 a night to stay at its on-campus hotel to help "transition to the hybrid workplace." https://gizmodo.com/google-invites-employees-to-sleep-on-campus-for-a-fee-1850709102

nostr:npub1lhj977c808mpkz7ap3ha9z72el9udthkvrypp6n25n3s9h0ny69sdens9p Your post reminded me of a story from years ago (pre-COVID) about a guy who got a job at Google in the Bay Area, where the rents/house prices were (and are) ridiculously high. Google has showers and 24-hour office access, so all he needed was a place to sleep. So he decided to buy a box truck, which he parked on the Google parking lot, to sleep in.

I found his blog, https://frominsidethebox.com, and checked it. Turns out he lived in his truck for six years, all through the pandemic, too.
