It started before that. In '98 I remember having dinner with someone who worked at Netscape before then who told me about how a co-worker had just been fired for living in the office, something they'd apparently decided to do in the first place because they already then had all of these perks designed to keep them in the office.

The Google, Apple etc. collusion certainly was a huge step up in abusive practices, though.
