Google Faces Employee Retention Challenge

prakslash writes "60% of Google's 1900 employees now hold stock options worth at least one million dollars. According to experts in this Reuters article, it is now imperative for Google to maintain its sense of mission. If it fails to do so, a whole slew of employees facing post-IPO burnout and boredom will leave the company to go back to school, start a new company, or join the ranks of high-tech early retirees. Such a mass cashing-out could lead to a decline in Google stock price and intellectual brain-drain. Oh how I wish I worked for Google."

    CmdrTaco was sitting in the kitchen all by himself when Rusty walked in and sat down beside him at the table. He rested his head in his hands and looked him straight in the face. He looked back at him, wondering what he was up to. For a while, he said nothing, but continued looking at him.
    Finally, he spoke. "Rob, what does sex feel like?", he asked.
    CmdrTaco was stunned. He almost never mentioned sex to anyone, let alone him. He wanted to run from the room but instead, he embraced his question. "C'm here, let me show you", he said as he led him into the bedroom. Rusty was only thiry-five but he figured that he'd better learn about sex now. And who better than CmdrTaco.
    He told him to sit on the bed while he began to strip for him. Rusty got pretty excited and his cock began to harden. He started by taking off his shirt, which revealed his massive, bra covered tits. Then he unhooked his bra and let his gigantic boobs flop free. Rusty's eyes widened at the sight of them. He dropped him pants to the floor. He was wearing white panties, which he also took off and threw to one side.
    By this time, Rusty had his hand on his pants, massaging his hard-on. CmdrTaco walked over to his friend and took one of his huge boobs in him hand. He then put it to his mouth. He licked and sucked on it like he'd been doing this forever. CmdrTaco threw him head back enjoying the Slashdot Editor's lips on his nipples.
    While he was sucking on his boob, he thrust his hand down into his pants. The young boy jumped with surprise. He took him tit out of his mouth and began to undress him.
    When he was completely naked, he laid down on the bed and told him to get on top of him. He did so without question, anticipating the pleasure he was going to have. He took his hard cock in his hand and guided it to CmdrTaco's asshole, then thrust inside him. He thrust in and out hard while El Robbo moaned with pleasure. Just then, CowboyNeal walked into the room.
    Rusty stopped dead in his tracks. "What the hell are you two doing?", CowboyNeal asked. "Rusty asked me what sex feels like so I'm showing him.", CmdrTaco answered, then said, "Get undressed and join us." CowboyNeal complied, undressing as fast as he could. He quickly moved over to his master and sat on his face.
    CowboyNeal had a very contented look on his pudgy face. He felt that this was his natural place to be, on top of him CmdrTaco's face. CmdrTaco quickly went to work, licking and sucking CowboyNeal's balls as he moaned in delight, as Rusty continued fucking him. All three were moaning so loudly that it caught the attention of Michael in the next room.
    He stood up and walked over to the doorway of CmdrTaco's bedroom. He stood there for a few moments, not making a sound. He then unbuttoned his pants and thrust his hand inside his now damp panties. Watching those three get it on really turned him on. He dropped him pants to the floor, took a step into the room, his nice legs moving as if by a will of their own.
    Michael walked over, knelt down and began to suck on CowboyNeal's nipples, as CowboyNeal rode CmdrTaco's face. Michael and CowboyNeal began to french each other, and fondle each other's balls. Then they began to touch each other's assholes.
    Then Michael had one of CowboyNeal's fingers inside his ass, as CowboyNeal began to finger fuck his coworker. Rusty was still fucking CmdrTaco wildly as he rimmed Cowboyneal. As Rusty pumped into CmdrTaco, CowboyNeal reached over further and pulled his head to him, and began to kiss him.
    At that moment Rusty began to come inside CmdrTaco. After he was through, Rusty slid his dick out of CmdrTaco and rolled off him, but instead of getting up he started to suck on CowboyNeal's boobs. Michael was quick to lap up the shit that coated Rusty's still rigid cock.
    Rusty looked down in surprise at Michael sucking on him, and his erection was instant. CowboyNeal smiled at Rusty, leaned over, and kissed him again deeply on the lips. His tongue parted his lips and wrapped itself around his tongue. Michael was still happily sucking aw

    You know, about 6 years ago, I learned a wonderful word. Ethnocentric. Without whipping out a dictionary, it basically means that I find my own country/culture(American) superior to all others.
    Damn, I really love that word. You know what else I love? Hookers and blow, and also apple pie. I love my country, and enjoy the fact that my president now, and for the next 4 years, is a hell-raising texas cowboy who doesn't fuck around or take shit.
    Damn, I went a bit off-topic there, but hey, it happens :)
