Google Incorporated

To: All Staff
From: The Manager
Date: March 21, 2019
Subject: Inappropriate use of time on Google Doodle games

Coworkers,
It has come to my attention that many in the office have been spending time on the Google home page micro
games. This memo is a reminder to use your work hours for work.
According to a recent article, the estimated daily cost of people collectively playing these games instead of working
is over $120 million—which is calculated based on the daily average increased time spent on the Google home
page (36 seconds).
If these estimates are applied to our 600 office employees, this results in a nearly $700 weekly loss.
This is a conservative estimate considering the extensive discussions that occur about beating the office's current
high score. The extra cost quickly adds up.
Of course, we do not want you to view our organization as a place of drudgery and draconian rules. I encourage
a fun and competitive environment, and I recognize that we certainly will not be profitable if you are unhappy or
dissatisfied with your jobs. This is just a reminder to be careful with your use of company time.
Thank you very much.
