Facebook paying workers to move closer to HQ
To qualify, they must buy or rent a home within 16km of the campus at One Hacker Way
New York
FACEBOOK Inc is offering employees at its Silicon Valley headquarters at least US$10,000 to move closer to the office, a reflection of the challenges many tech companies face in the increasingly expensive and congested San Francisco Bay area.
To qualify for the payment, which the social networking firm started offering in the last 12 months, according to current and former Facebook workers, employees must buy or rent a home within 16 kilometres of the Facebook campus at One Hacker Way, a desolate strip of road overlooking a marsh about 48 km south of San Francisco.
