Google Rewards Employees With Millions
iseff writes "According to News.com, the Google guys created a program in November which rewards employees for outstanding achievements. The program gives the possibility of millions of dollars of stock to teams who perform great work. The goal of the program, according to Brin, is two-fold. First, it allows the company to reward 'genius', or whatever they see as genius. And second, it allows them to continue to hire all sorts of employees. According to the article, they believe that a recent grad who would like to work in a start-up will still be attracted to them because of the opportunity to create something great and be rewarded with millions (and without much of the risk associated with startups)."
Why is everyone so damm negative about this? If you feel that you should be making all this money,why don't you apply for the job?
Sour grapes, get your sour grapes! Who wants some? I'll take some sour grapes, I am so tired of hearing about how great all the people at Google have it while I rot away in my part-time retail job because all of my computer experience is financially valueless outside of India. I love Google as a company and I am glad that they have shown themselves truely appreciative of the work that their workers do, but man am I jealous!

If you'll note, it's optional. The idea is you help me by signing up, then you get some friends to sign up for your iPod, so your analogy is also rather flawed.
/. has quite a few anti free*.com people, but if you don't like it, don't click it. I figure it's worth the minimal effort of signing up for a free trial with a junk email address. If I do eventually get an iPod, that's pretty damn cool. If I don't, all I've lost is a minimal amount of time.
