Counterpoint: The majority of Google employees aren't anything near "heavily invested" in Google stock. Sure, they get some, but the amount is dwarfed by their regular salary and bonus. For them, stock is "nice to have", but not a big deal. In fact, I'm pretty sure most of them would rather say "Who cares about stock price? Let's do some cool stuff!" I think most Google employees would fall into either (1) those who don't have enough stocks to care much about stock price, and (2) those who have too much money to care.
