Maids for Google Employees


"So much for the war on Googler entitlement. Amid heated competition for engineers, Google is trying a remarkable new perk: free use of "runners" to clean apartments, take out trash, cook dinner, run errands—whatever is needed.

Googlers are being provided with credits on TaskRabbit, an online service that brokers odd jobs in five major cities. Recent job listings on the site include "Fold Laundry and Put it Away," "Cook dinner for 2," "assemble four items from Ikea," "standard wash and fold: 3 loads," "dispose of Ikea bead," "Pick up and deliver cake," and "walk a dog." The perk, presumably, only applies to Google workers who live in one of the five metropolitan regions TaskRabbit serves, including New York and the San Francisco Bay Area."
