Fortune 500’s 100 best companies to work for- <\/p>\n
Do you ever find these things interesting? I do.<\/p>\n
Wonder what makes them good places to work (one of them listed that they have m&m’s every wednesday- that would do it for me!). <\/p>\n
Wonder why some companies make the list year after year (Container Store) and some never ever make the list at all (ahem-no comment). <\/p>\n
Most on this list I have never heard of. <\/p>\n
Most of the ones that I have heard of are in California, Texas, or Seattle. <\/p>\n
All nice places to live. <\/p>\n
I’m just sayin’. <\/p>\n
