(Newser) – Should you need a reason to hate your job a little bit more, get a load of the latest perk Google is offering its employees: "runners" (or, as
Gawker helpfully identifies them, "servants") who can empty the trash, scrub the bathroom, or do any other pesky chore Googlers aren't into. In a bid to woo engineers, the tech giant is giving its workers credits for TaskRabbit, an online service that allows users to post an errand and have background-checked runners fight for the privilege (and pay) that comes from completing tasks like "cook dinner for 2" or "assemble four items from Ikea."
