Do you think employees of Microsoft are allowed to use Google? Or can they only use MSN? Are all Google sites lumped into the same “black list” of blocked websites like nakedwomenofseattle.com?

I’m guessing they’re not, cause I’m sure the bigwigs at MS acknowledge that Google can be useful. But I think this would be a funny prank to play on a new hire:

Boss: Hey, can you dig up some information on software startups that we could potentially buy out?

Newbie: Sure thing

(Opens web browser to Google home page)

Boss: Dude, get the fuck out of here. You’re fired…………. JUST KIDDING! Woah buddy, did you just piss yourself?

On the flipside, how closely do you think Google recruiters look at resume details?

Hmmm…this guy looks pretty good…Michigan Undergrad, Stanford MBA, excellent GPA…enjoys travelling and golf…wow, has even started his own company…I think we should bring this guy in for an interv… WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH…Hotmail? HOTMAIL?! Is this guy for real? FUCK. THAT.
