Google Offices in NYC

Here is a video that I found on www.officesnapshots.com of the Google office in NYC. Of course, we will start small, but it doesn't hurt to dream big, right? I am so down for a food station, game room, and Lego building room! Plus, my scooter is ready! Feel free to look at the other offices listed on this site. Another great office to look at is Pixar Studios which can be found on the left column under "Most Popular." Happy surfing!

As Office Manager...

I plan to implement policies that will promote and nurture the creative environment!

1. Alcohol WILL be allowed on the premises, so long as it is done in moderation during work hours (but after 5pm, it's all up to you).
2. Nerf guns WILL be allowed during office hours as long as there are no clients visiting and you do not shoot anyone who is conversing with a client on the telephone (but yeah, I know it's tempting).
3. We will have an Employee-of-the-Month program with benefits to be determined.
4. Scooters and Skateboards will be allowed on the premises so long as you do not get yourself hit by a car.
5. Visitors will be allowed during office hours so long as work is still getting done and deadlines are being met.
6. TGIFriday activities will be enforced; will be determined at a later date.
7. Doggies will be allowed to come to work with their owner so long as they are properly looked after.
8. The achievement of goals and growth of business, no matter how big or small, will ALWAYS be celebrated in some sort of fashion.
9. Video gaming sessions will be allowed so long as deadlines are being met and the players are not too loud when other employees are on the phone.
10. Quick naps may be taken when needed to refresh the brain.

Finally, anyone is welcome to suggest other policies that will help to nurture our creativity and productivity!

Evolve

Inspiration can also be looked at as down right copying. Who cares. It's still tight.

Motivation

Seeing young cats with this type of sound drive me nuts. It makes me work twice as hard to find a better sound.

Supreme

Supreme is a clothing / skate company. They draw inspiration from many things. Here's just a sample of what they've done.

They've taken the imagery from the movie to make this badboy.
