How would YOU feel if?
Your boss gave you free time to do anything you wanted

"At Google, we know that every employee:
has something important to say;
is integral to our success and
is more important than the
technology we provide.
We are as passionate about their lives
as they are about their work.–
because at Google,
PEOPLE are our
most important asset."
