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)."

I work at Google. Life IS this good. But the new MSN search has us scared. I might quit my job and shred my stock certificates.

When somne like Enron rewards it's employees with millions, the commie pinkos on /. all cry out and fly the red flag of communism. When Google does it, they all cheer. Pure hypocrisy if I've ever seen it. They talk of rewarding "genius". This is absolute worthless twaddle. What about rewarding the more surperior evil geniuses that brought us the 2000 election? Or maybe the genius behind the Walmart stores? They deserve a lot of money for the works they've done to make this country the greatest empir... nation in the known world!! It just sickens me to see the worthless "accomplishments" of a few pencil-necked geeks unjustly awarded millions that should have gone to some middle management execs and salesforce people. Management and sales are what make us the greatest country in the world!!! The rest of what the wiry technogeeks do is just support.

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!

Pain lasts, kid. Its how you know you're alive. Sometimes I think this growing up thing is just pain management-TheMaxx
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.
