'Dear Google Boss'

This was cute just a few years ago. Now, maybe not so much. Plus a big welcome and 7 other things worth reading today...

I found this story endearing when I first wrote about it.

Now, it’s kind of weird. Maybe even a bit creepy.

It goes back to about 2016, when a 7-year-old girl in England asked her dad where he’d like to work if he could work anywhere.

Google, he told her, describing his impressions of the place: cutting edge work and the kind of perks a kid would love, like “bean bags, go-karts, and slides.”

Sunda Pichai and Father Christmas

The girl decided she’d like to work there too. At her dad’s urging, she sent a letter to Google CEO Sunda Pichai:

Dear Google Boss,

When I am bigger I would like a job with Google. I also want to work in a chocolate factory and do swimming in the Olympics. ...

My dad told me to give you an application ... I don't really know what one of them is but he said a letter will do for now.

Thank you for reading my letter, I have only ever sent one other and that was to Fathe…
