Would you want to work in a "city within a city"? And which one of these headquarters would you choose?
ill build my own city :>
None of them. It is a comfortable prison
It’s crucial for me to be able to disconnect from work once my shift is over. Being surrounded by coworkers at all times would drive me crazy. My boss has a group chat with all employees in it and I don’t participate in it, only to let everyone know I’ll be late or calling in sick. I don’t need to know every detail of my coworkers lives.
They are looking for creative people not free people who know the meaning of freedom
My company downsized its office, made most people hybrid and remote, and added new benefits like sending food to employees’ homes. I think most people would prefer this direction, especially when they need to take care of their families
Why does your company send food to people's homes?
@@JaydenHolland-wo4fd to lower the wages. Maybe they are getting higher margins by sending food rather than money. On the outside it may look ridiculous but when we scale up it might make sense.
The further we go into future, the more realistic soviet dreams become.
I took a tour of Microsoft as a field trip for our schools cultural clubs, they have free cafe’s and a whole all you can eat food court with multiple restaurants and gourmet chefs. I legit ate 4 plates of food.
The food is free for the employees
@@isaiahstallworth1803 what about visitors like me ?
Wtfffff😅
😂❤
They don’t want you to ever leave work.
but there are no rooms , it would be the dreamed job
😂😂 Foolish joke@@santi7616
No shit how else would they compete with other companies and afford to stay alive and pay wages?
Indeed
Children going to schools in workplace domain be like "My dad is your dad's boss so shut up" :yaoming:
hhahahha comment I was looking for
"Hey, come work for us. We have 3 restaurants, a gym, a dry cleaner, and day care!"
"So, just like downtown, but fewer options?"
It reminds me of the Saltaire village here in England. An entire Victorian town created by Sir Titus Salt, specifically for his workers so that they can have good living conditions and live near the factory. But they were made to live by quite strange rules, all subject to company policy.
I liked Amazon's campus the most. The Helix building reminds me of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
But that building looks like the shape of poop Meaning that the company is sh*t
The first sign of a companies decline is building temples to themselves.
It is interesting that in every point it is repeated how the spaces inspire creativity and innovation. However, no proof of this is given or how this should happen.
It’s because they just reading off wiki I think
Corporations creating their own “communities” feels just like the Severance show
I like how they stated "natural beauty of California" while showing suburbs :D
fr though, the most lifeless, car dependent places in america. well actually the world not just the US
From now on the only Empire is the Empire of the Mind! - Sherlock Bear
From an urban design perspective, I like Amazon’s HQs better. The campus model is too insular, exclusive & presents barriers for residents to get through instead of having to go around out of their way, as if it’s a canyon or industrial complex of the industrial age variety.
rainbow at the center of that circle of an office lmao
Rainbow isn't the property of the wokes.
20% Affordable housing on Meta campus.. after local income level jumps 3000% from transplants destined to live in the units. Sure thats not how it works.. but how it will work out. Why not just call them barracks :-) - because the premium on those gorgeous penthouses would drop.
It sounded a lot like Pullman, a Chicago neighborhood that was built as a company town, complete with schools and mixed income housing. It's a 21st century version of a 19th century concept
This sounds like an AI generated script with a subscription to a stock footage website being put to good use.
Wasn’t there a monopoly lawsuit against google though?
You mentioned xerox but you skipped the tru OG campus from another Rochester company. Kodak Park employing over 15,000 employees in over 154 different buildings spanning its 1,300 acres.
❤❤❤
4:17 These units are weird. Why not use metric units?
None of these HQ's feature schools, nurseries, or children in any of the pictures.
what evil empire is complete without their death star? it's that simple.
Google was smarter than Amazon ; they just bought the building, but Amazon was not allowed to build in NYC, Google foresight was better
Okay. Janet/Ken - Cody R. - And I. Won.
Amazon bought office space in nyc you dumb fuck nyc politicians are a bunch a fucking pussies.
Positivity for me you never built that I have built positivity
Future of space station and even submersible city when nuclear war or comventional war happenvis college campus and corporation head quarters are design to achieve
What's up with the horrendous background music trend everyone uses?
Ind3ed😅
So before you switch jobs or get fired you need to consider you'll be losing your home, neighbors, your whole life...
I don't like to talk you know I like the action so I would hope that everything goes well for all these projects
Amazon’s sh8t emoji building - fancy
Seeing all the parkings around the Meta HQ, such a bad use of the space
This is amazing, the USA is at another level
Arms HQ in Cambridge is small in comparison
Sounds like Company towns…..
Where is Walmart home office? That’s being build right now
The company store reimagined? Just wondering???
Yes 😊
Amazon HQ could’ve turned into a giant poo but they got the gradients just right.
We have seen this before, company towns do not work.
Apple or Amazon 👍
Land value. Greed.
These are not mini-cities. They are just neighbourhoods or blocks within cities. The Amazon HQ 2 helix is nice, but other buildings in the video are relatively ordinary compared to what is being built in new residential neighbourhoods in Europe nowadays. The Facebook neighbourhood is not particularly attractive. That's what would pass as social housing in Europe. The speaker in the video gives the feeling that it is so special that these buildings are built in a sustainable way. It may not be common in the US yet but it is certainly the default in most other developed countries nowadays. Americans are just so far behind when it comes to environmental sustainability. It's really a shame as it is one of the richest countries in GDP per capita, but it looks like only hi-tech companies care about the environment.
amazon one looks like a pile of poop
yah ppl actually called it that in posts and articles i think it was a giant poop emoji or something like that i believe, crazy stuff
Create new ideas they made them in this way but they have created ai and from now on ai will create all the ideas and all the employees will be unemployed.
Turning your employees into a secondary revenue stream isn't new. They are called company towns and they've been around since Ur.
Raqobat boʻlsa oʻsish boʻladi lek oʻyinda halol mehnat ila yutugʻga erishish kerak bir biriga dushmanlik bilan emas mard boʻlinglar chunki bu sinov dunyosi bir yutqazssiz bir yutasiz lek ALLOH yutugʻni faqat mardlarga toʻgʻri yoʻlda halol mehnat bilan ishlaganlarga beradi fitna va dushmanlik qiluvchilargamas!!!
Helix = Tower of Babel
Thanks To China 🇨🇳 for showing the Way !
Some of this is a bit nauseating. The Meta campus looks like the absolute most fake shopping mall Disney land. I like Microsoft’s attempt to create a real, natural plant environment. All of this lipstick on a filthy hog doesn’t make me want to go into the office, though. I’ve got space, food, and plants here at the house.
Factories for white collar humanoids! People don’t want their JOB to be commingled with their life after they establish their social network, so observing the way people of different life stages use the complex will be insightful (different if it were entrepreneurial organizations or early startups).
They're not big enough.
No
This is dangerous.
They all sound like a prison that pays you to never leave
