Okay, that does bring us back to Google, too... FB is perhaps even more so given they have employee dorms and a completely isolated "village" campus in the middle of Mountainview, too.

The goal of HR in these large companies is mostly to find people that will "fit in". Hence, if you already have crazies running loose in the asylum, your HR is destined to hire even more crazies.

Yes but in the end, money rules these companies, which in a weird way becomes comforting at this point. Since inevitably, at some point, their owners are gonna go; "WTF" and start putting down demands for changes.

This is the point where "the glass breaks" - That point is now I suspect ...

Indeed, by comparison, in academia there is no outer constraint at all, and the bizarre can fully metastasize.

There was a time that for many people the glass broke when you left home at 18 ;).
