    WTF. We are really going back to feudalism. No one owns anything, we just rent — houses, heated car seats, software. Everything has a subscription. And now this.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Google is among those corporations that has been pulling out all the stops to get Googler butts back into their Herman Miller Aerons.

    The company is internally advertising a $99 “Summer Special” for its campus hotel.

    “Just imagine no commute to the office in the morning and instead, you could have an extra hour of sleep and less friction,” the company writes.

    “Next, you could walk out of your room and quickly grab a delicious breakfast or get a workout in before work starts.”

    It doesn’t qualify as a travel expense, so employees have to pay for it themselves, using their personal credit cards.

    CNBC notes a less than stellar reaction among employees on the internal message board.
