Comments on: Nobody works every minute they are at work, which means the Google Geeks are constantly talking with each other, team building, bonding and goofing off. And for 20% of that goofing-off time, I’ll guarantee you that many of these people are discussing their pet projects, 99.75% of which have been REJECTED by the company. http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/20070529/nobody-works-every-minute-they-are-at-work-which-means-the-google-geeks-are-constantly-talking-with-each-other-team-building-bonding-and-goofing-off-and-for-20-percent-of-that-goofing-off-time-i/ by John Paczkowski Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:28:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Dave Taylor http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/20070529/nobody-works-every-minute-they-are-at-work-which-means-the-google-geeks-are-constantly-talking-with-each-other-team-building-bonding-and-goofing-off-and-for-20-percent-of-that-goofing-off-time-i/comment-page-1/#comment-110 Dave Taylor Tue, 29 May 2007 15:27:10 +0000 http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/20070529/nobody-works-every-minute-they-are-at-work-which-means-the-google-geeks-are-constantly-talking-with-each-other-team-building-bonding-and-goofing-off-and-for-20-percent-of-that-goofing-off-time-i/#comment-110 John, "Cringely" has an amusing article, but it flies in the face of the experience of anyone working on the cutting edge. If you're truly doing interesting research, than the majority of it IS going to fail and die. My experience?
