You don't have to be a tech CEO in order to have some fun for the holidays during December. To the employees who work hard for these companies, these fun hippy parties though excessive are well deserved to some.
Mark Milian and Emily Chang, from Bloomberg discuss of these high-end parties and this is what they reported.
Facebook has a trapeze artist during their Holiday bash. Also present are classic cars which Facebook employees can take selfied of. Also a giant art deco, F in design with Facebook logo is another attraction. He said that you can only imagine how much the company spent on this holiday party
Emily Chang asked if that is ok, considering the Company's current well being, but Millian said that perhaps the investors are happy with their company. It's really up to them how they are able to appease their employees, but it does seem excessive.
As for Google, Milian said that they had a trippy hippy weird San Fancisco-like burning man style party. It was under the sea kind of theme, with jelly fish dancing all over the place. Google is known for such burning man themes. Their employees sure loved it.
Some of yahoo employees have an awkward photo with their CEO Marrisa Mayer. They also have a roaring 20's theme party, parallel to Silicon Valley. It also is not the best time for their company but they partied nonetheless.
Dropbox had their party at the Masonic. They had a very hip indie band playing there. They want to convey some coolness even under some company issue.
Twitter is another company that has had some layoffs in the last six months but it did not stop them from celebrating the holidays as they rented out the AT&T Park. Millian also said that Facebook had their party there last year, he jokingly said the perhaps Twitter wanted to become the next Facebook so it only makes sense.
They also showed photos of Mark Pincus serving beer at the party in Zynga; and the CEO of Uber Travis Kalanick taking his dog with him at the party.
Looks like everyone who worked hard in the tech industry had such fun!
