The last time I went shopping I wasn’t very successful. I wanted to get my wife a gift for
her birthday. You don’t know my wife, but she has everything she needs. I asked her
what she wanted and she said, “a surprise.” I didn’t want to hear this. What do you buy
the person who has everything? My wife knows what she likes, but I don’t! So, I asked
my wife’s sister to give me some ideas.

She said flowers were good, but I always get my wife flowers, so they aren’t a surprise.
A box of chocolates? She’s on a diet. A book or a CD? Boring. I spent a whole afternoon
at the mall looking for something fantastic, original, special – and not too expensive. In
the end, I bought her a jacket. It was orange, and very original. I thought it was perfect!
When I gave it to her, she smiled and asked me where I got it. She took it back to the
store the next day, and bought a book.

Last year, Steve Grain worked for a big bank in New York City. He had a great salary, a
nice house, and drove an expensive car. Steve thought he had everything he wanted.
But one day, all that changed. Steve had a heart attack. He was in the hospital for five
weeks. In fact, he nearly died, “I worked myself almost to death,” said Steve, “I was the
person who always had to be the best, drive the fastest car, and earn the biggest
salary, but I wasn’t happy.

I was stressed all the time.” When he left the hospital, Steve changed his life
dramatically. He left his job at the bank, bought a smaller house, and started working
as a gardener. “I’ve always wanted to work outside,” he said, “Now, I get much more
exercise and I spend more time with my family. I live in a smaller house. I realized I
don’t have to always be the best. My life is much quieter and simpler now – and I’m
much happier.”

A Steve didn’t earn a lot of money in his job at the bank.

The company Google™ was started in 1998 by two Stanford University students, Larry
Page and Sergey Brin. It offers free software that helps people find information on the
internet. They started the business in a friend’s garage, but the company quickly grew,
and has now become very successful. Today, Google has 10,000 employees worldwide
and Fortune magazine has recently voted Google the number one company to work for
in the USA. We visited the new Google building in California, called Mountain View, to
find out why.

At Mountain View, employees can wear T-shirts to work. There is a free gym and
swimming pool, and a company bus goes from the office to San Francisco so that
employees don’t have to drive to work. Googlers – the name employees call themselves
– can have a massage, visit the hairdresser, doctor and dentist – all for free! Googlers
don’t have to work at a desk; they can work outside, or sit on one of the many sofas in
the building. There is a free restaurant, with fantastic food, and free snacks all day. You
can have a beer on Friday afternoon with your workmates. You can even take your dog
to work!

A Google™ is a small company.

T / F
B Fortune magazine thinks Google is a good place to work.

C At the Google office in California employees can wear what they like.
T / F
D Google employees have to pay for the hairdresser and dentist.
