Day Care for Google Employees

First off I am sure a lot of people think that Google employees need full time adult supervision, but in this case it is the company provided day care for the children of Google employees. However in reading the article I was left to ask, just how damn much money does Google pay it's employees?

Under price changes to be phased in over the next five quarters, parents of a preschooler can expect to pay $1,116 a month by October of this year and $1,710 by October 2009. Furman said the prices, while eye-popping in many regions, are competitive with top-notch day care pricing in San Francisco.

You have got to love liberals with all of their high priced touchy feely stuff. How many other people find this statement disturbing?

He denied reports the company is seeking to adhere to a specific philosophy of child-raising and said multiple approaches would be offered.

Silly old me. I always thought it was the parents responsibility to raise their kids, not the company they worked for. Doesn't it make you feel all warm and fuzzy they they say multiple approaches will be offered. I would really love to see the menu of kid rearing entrees. Can you mix and match your child rearing options?
I wonder what these people are going to do when Google loses market share and people finally wake up and burst Google's bubble. I wonder if the employees in their Chinese office has the same options, or in keeping with the spirit of Google's contract with the communist regime, is that information also not returned on search of the web?
The New York Times, never known for citing their sources, and therefore leaves us to believe that they make this stuff up, just like they do with their stories involving top secret information that they just have to spill there guts about, has this quote in a story about this.

At a T.G.I.F. in June, the Google co-founder Sergey Brin said he had no sympathy for the parents, and that he was tired of “Googlers” who felt entitled to perks like “bottled water and M&Ms,” according to several people in the meeting. (A Google spokesman denies that Mr. Brin made that comment.) On Monday, Google began the first phase of its new day care plan, letting go of the outside day care firm it had been using.
