I visited them during the peak of their success and they had a giant stainless steel slide in the middle of their facility that had been given to them by the German government.
It was steep and twisty, and I inquired about the liability of having it. With a grin, a staff member told me that several employees had broken bones using the slide and that there was an active lawsuit in progress with a former employee due to an injury.
I asked if they were going to get rid of the slide, and the response was, “No way, it’s a symbol of who we are. We move fast and break shit!”
I liked that version of Rackspace a lot. The office was incredible (still haven’t seen anything like it), and the service was great. Sad to hear where things landed.
