100 acres of restaurants (11 of them), convenience stores, gym and rock climbing, bank, pharmacies, private rooms for personal contemplation, and gender neutral bathrooms. And a rain water recycling center.

It's amazing what you can offer employees when unions aren't involved.

That's a mistake. The entire site might be 100 acres. And there might be 11 restaurants. But there aren't 100 acres of restaurants. That would be over 4 million sq ft of dining.

plucked some bullshite buried in the article

"worried that they won't be able to attract young workers from other areas if the legislature passes laws like the bathroom bill"

That is fricking horseshite. The number of people that would turn down a job because of that is not even a blip.

"Young workers" could care less about whether there are gender neutral bathrooms. Young loafers might.

And if someone would turn a good job down due to that reason, you're better off never having them anyway.

Looks a lot like university medical center in Nola.... UMC

Same furniture used. Same lighting fixtures. Same flooring.

The Toyota Headquarters are now located in California, so this can explain the progressive ideas such as the gender neutral bathrooms. I also might add that Plano has a sizable LGBTQ community.

The largest building in the world is the Boeing plant in WA. It has 30,000 workers in it. And it takes 20 mins to drive from one side to the other in a golf cart. And it's not even 100 acres.

So No. There are not 100 acres of restaurants in the Toyota headquarters.

"Hey, I'm fresh out of college and this is a great job offer with a major company, but one question: what are the shitters like? What variety of people can I expect to shite next to and chat with when I'm washing my hands after taking a shite? My workplace shitting experience is very important to me."

Toyota moving to Plano is awesome but do they have to move every company headquarters to the same damn intersection? Toyota, Liberty Mutual, JP Morgan Chase, Boeing Global Services Division, FedEx.... Traffic is going to be even more insane than it already is. Not to mention, Nebraska Furniture Mart (which is the most amazing furniture store ever) is right down the road.

Oh and obligatory TX>La
