It was the absolute top of the line when it was purchased two years ago.<\/p>\n<p>2. On my desk there&#8217;s a second flat screen LCD on a swivel arm and a laptop stand to promote <a href=\"http:\/\/www.healthline.com\/galecontent\/ergonomics\">good workplace ergonomics.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>3. My employer brought in a room designer and consulted the company regarding the cubicle setup, including the wall height.<\/p>\n<p>4. Whiteboards are available in each cubicle and in each meeting room.<\/p>\n<p>5. Everyone can and does listen to music and most of us make our iTunes libraries available for sharing over the network, ensuring an ample supply of tunes.<\/p>\n<p>6. This is truly funny, because we have THIS EXACT PHONE!<\/p>\n<p>7. Wifi everywhere, and VPN access to work from outside the office to boot.<\/p>\n<p>8. I cannot actually think of the last time I needed a stapler, but I&#8217;m sure I could have one if I asked.<\/p>\n<p>I knew I worked for a great company, but this just serves to reaffirm that I must be working in the right place.
