I doubt they'll do anything. Google management seems to be pretty leery of rocking the boat where the perks are concerned. As long as living on campus is a rare thing -- and it is -- they'll turn a blind eye.

It's well known that Google's free meals policy is widely abused. At the end of day, you'll see lots of people getting on the bus home with their dinners, sure. But it gets a lot worse; some people bring home enough food to feed their whole families over the weekends. Management knows about it, and doesn't do anything.



Inevitably if you're generous with enough people, someone will try to take advantage of you. At what point do you stop being generous?

It's nice to know that management at Google isn't blind to what's going on. I suppose they'll find a clever way to curtail anything that gets really out of hand.


Well, if they find that someone abuses company perks, they can just take them to a meeting and politely explain them that they can either play fair or say goodbye to their job. It's not neccessary to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
