They don't. https://www.vox.com/2015/10/22/9595682/google-employee-truck For the past few months, a guy named Brandon has been living in a truck in Google's parking lot and documenting the experience on his blog. He's a software engineer at Google, a company famous for its generous amenities. Brandon is able to eat meals, take showers, and work out on Google's campus, which he says makes it practical for him to live in the back of a box truck with no kitchen, running water, or other amenities. He says he's doing this to save money. Rent for a studio apartment costs around $2,000 per month, he says. The truck cost just $10,000, and his only recurring expense is $121 per month for truck insurance so just a few months into the experiment, he's already saved more money than he spent on the truck, and he expects to save tens of thousands of dollars over the next few years. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/googles-perks-amazing-employees-found-002550682.html Why bother paying rent when you can shower, eat, work out, do laundry, and sleep at your office? Google perks are so good some employees say they've spent weeks living on campus to avoid paying rent, according to a Quora thread. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/feb/27/silicon-aa-cost-of-living-crisis-has-americas-highest-paid-feeling-poor "I didnt become a software engineer to be trying to make ends meet, said a Twitter employee in his early 40s who earns a base salary of $160,000. It is, he added, a pretty bad income for raising a family in the Bay Area. The biggest cost is his $3,000 rent which he said was ultra cheap for the area for a two-bedroom house in San Francisco, where he lives with his wife and two kids. Hed like a slightly bigger property, but finds himself competing with groups of twentysomethings happy to share accommodation while paying up to $2,000 for a single room. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
