Google’s sweet perks

IT’S no secret Google employees get a sweet deal when it comes to job perks, including gourmet food, on-site doctors and free haircuts. But until now, we didn’t know just how good they have it.

Google’s chief people officer Laszlo Bock has revealed a new "death benefits" that means employees are covered not just in life, but in death.

The never-before-released details of the tech giant’s perks program include an amazing benefit that if a Googler dies while under the tech giant’s employ, their spouse or life partner will receive 50 per cent of their salary for the next decade.

We’ll say that again. The next decade. Death benefits extend to all employees and do not require any tenure or accruement.

"One of the things we realized recently was that one of the harshest but most reliable facts of life is that at some point most of us will be confronted with the death of our partners,” Mr Bock told Forbes.

“And it’s a horrible, difficult time no matter what, and every time we went through this as a company we tried to find ways to help the surviving spouse of the Googler who’d passed away.”

The death benefits were implemented in 2011 but they have not been revealed to the public until now.

Along with 50 per cent of their partner’s salary for a decade, surviving spouses also have access to their partner’s shares in the company. If the couple have children, they will receive $1000 a month until the age of 19, or 23 if the child is a full-time student.

"When we think about [employee] needs at Google, we think less about how old you are that we do about your particular cluster of needs,” Mr Bock said.

“For someone who fits a certain profile—say, an aging parent to take care of, or kids or grandkids to support–whatever your cluster of needs are, we do our best to discern the best package of perks and programs to meet them.”

Google living benefits include things such as subsidized private health insurance for things like physio and other health and well-being care.

"We take care of our people when they’re alive also," the spokesperson said.

The History of Class Rings

The tradition of the class ring began more than 170 years ago at West Point. The class of 1835 received the first class rings, a tradition that has become a popular one at high school and college campus across the United States.

The rings were based on seal or signet rings, jewelry the ancient Egyptians wore their entire lives and even after death. The belief was that the rings promised eternal life.

Today, a class ring is typically worn on the ring finger of the right hand. Not only does the ring symbolize a student’s school spirit, it easily identifies the young person as a student or graduate of a particular institution.

Earlier class rings were fairly uniform, but in recent years students have been able to personalize the rings with engravings and different stones, as well as different shapes and styles. White or yellow gold are the traditional metals used, with the center stone typically representing the school’s colors or the wearer’s birthstone.

The rings will also often feature the name of the school engraved around the center stone. Other common engraved features are the graduation year and symbols to denote membership in a fraternity, sorority or honor society.
