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.
I'm following the devastating news from Slovenia, where one month's worth of rain fell in 24 hours. It's the biggest natural disaster in the young country's 32-year history. Large parts of the country are flooded. I can't even begin to imagine the time and money needed to recover from this.
But it's hard to find non-Slovenian coverage of this disaster. Press agencies like Reuters and AP are reporting it, but newspapers in, say, Germany or the US aren't picking it up.
