Doesn't that seem a bit insane to you though? You're essentially saying the company is permitting you to continue your friendships. What about when they stop doing that?

I just go over to their houses or invite them over to mine. I've kept up with many of my Google friends, and we usually hang out over homemade pizza every 2 weeks. There are others where I go to their parties or other events or just invite them out for dinner every couple months.

Even in the most company-townish scenarios, I can't really see a company forbidding you from leaving the premises. If you wanna stay friends with a Googler, just invite them over.

They are permitting me on the premises. It's their offices after all. They have no say over what people do outside of those offices.
