Amazon and Google employees get to have dogs at work. To me, that's an amazing perk. Does anyone actually not want other people's dogs at the workplace?
cats > dogs
Kids > cats > digs. Bring your dogs if you want to hear my kids cry
Your life is my nightmare.
For those voting no on dogs, why not?
If there's like the one cute and cuddly office dog, it's fun. But you quickly end up with many of them where sanitation, distraction, and noise become issues. Also in open office environments we are already constrained on space.
I imagine it would get smelly, hair everywhere. One office dog would be fun!
MS used to allow this, at least in heir Silicon Valley offices, but apparently one day a janitor went into an office with a dog that barked/growled at them. Bye bye doggies.
We've got so many dogs running around the office. It's nice, but sometimes it gets a little hairy.
haha
I'm pretty positive that Amazon is the most dog friendly company ever.
More so than Zynga? We have dog treats in all the kitchens, a dog park on the roof, and at least 100 dogs on site everyday with only ~1200 people. Someone did get mauled last year... Not sure if that made the news.
What a nightmare.
Blizzard is mostly dog friendly. Allergies and team disruption are more important than brining the pooch to work and there is a process you have to go through to get approved, but we have quite a bit of our fur friends show up daily without incident.
We used to have the CEOs dog (Darwin) going around the office on the constant search for forgotten/easy to reach lunch. If you left things unattended and close to the end of the table you would come back with Darwin ripping it to shreds. If you ate at your desk you would have him resting his head on your leg staring at you. He died earlier this year though :(
sad. but did he do yelp rating of the food he ate? lol
And everyone let it slide because it's the ceo's dog?
There's a few poochies here. All well behaved even.
not that I don't love dogs but still oppose bringing to office. apart from extra work for cleaning crew and health concerns, there may be people who don't like them or get distracted by them. if they do allow dogs here at msft then I will ask them if I could import my pet elephant and Royal Bengal tiger from India and bring them to office
I would love having an office tiger... If only so I could bring him to meetings with people that like to argue with me >=D
The tiger will eat all of the dogs

Who here has accidentally clicked on the Korean Hyundai ad?
Only if I'm allowed bring my cat
I'm with ya
Does MS still have mostly offices? If so, cats pretty much don't cause any disturbance right?
