Forgetting headphones at home can be frustrating, particularly when a workday involves calls, meetings or simply the need to focus. A Bengaluru-based techie working at Google recently found herself in exactly that situation, only to discover that one of the company’s office perks had her covered.
What initially appeared to be a stressful start to the day quickly turned into a glimpse of an employee perk at Google’s office. However, her worry did not last long. Remembering that she was at Google’s office, Aggarwal decided to check whether she could get a replacement pair without having to leave the workplace. The video then shows her walking towards a vending machine inside the office. She selects a pair of headphones on the machine and receives them within moments.

“I was almost about to panic, but when I remembered we are at Google’s office, let’s get me some headphones,” she says. The text overlaid on the clip reads: “Perks at Google.”
The simple workplace convenience caught the attention of social media users, many of whom appeared impressed by the facility available to employees. Google offices have often drawn attention online for the facilities and amenities available to employees, and Aggarwal’s clip has added another example to that conversation.
