To encourage this, the Facebook offices are overflowing with “perks.” I think this part of Silicon Valley work life is something everyone’s heard about by now. It’s parodied on TV shows. The offices are like a never-ending kid’s birthday party. All meals are provided, endless free snacks, game arcades. Bring your laundry to work and someone will do it for you. They’ll pay for transport if you can’t access Facebook’s free transportation. I feel deeply conflicted about these perks, simultaneously eye-rolly and loving it.
