Inside the Google-Plex 130
tappytibbins writes "Baseline magazine has an in-depth story about how Google manages its own IT infrastructure. From the article: 'In general, Google has a split personality when it comes to questions about its back-end systems. To the media, its answer is, "Sorry, we don't talk about our infrastructure." Yet, Google engineers crack the door open wider when addressing computer science audiences, such as rooms full of graduate students whom it is interested in recruiting.'"

The CEO walks into the elevator, and sees a man stood there in jeans smoking a cigarette. The company had a strict no-smoking policy (this is some years ago, before it was commonplace) and a strict dress code.
Incensed, the CEO demands how much this man is paid.
"$750 per month" (told you it was some years ago!)
"Here's $750. Get out and don't come back."
"OK."
