"Who stays with one employer anymore these days?" Google will keep anyone talented that's 'producing stuff', they have massive surpluses of cash. I think a lot of people would love to work at Google for a long time so long as they fit in the culture. Who wouldn't want to work on fun stuff that the word is using? And a high, stable income is the next most valuable thing after stock options in a high flying company :) What are the alternatives? A startup wherein you will likely lose your job? Oracle? Cisco? Probably not nearly as interesting. Alt career choice? Might cut their salary in half ... Maybe a different way to frame it: why would they leave? I wouldn't even like to work at Google, but I have no trouble understanding why people would park there for a long while :) Kudos to them for providing a place for so many talented folks to create cool things.
