On Google's 10 Percent Pay Hike . . . And Antitrust Law
- fleitz 16y agoGoogle needs to up its base compensation because it can't comp on stock anymore. The upside just isn't there, like it or not Google is pretty much blue chip at this point.
- DannoHung 16y agoWell, either that or they could work on providing more and more unique non-remunerative employment benefits.
- PakG1 16y agoThere's only so much that a company can provide until it takes over an employee's entire life 100%. That's a limit they can't break, no matter how creative the company is. Monetary compensation, however, has no limits. It can just keep going up and up and up, assuming the profits also do. Obviously, profits can't keep going up infinitely, but I bet you employees have higher capacity/bandwidth to accept more pay than they do to accept non-monetary benefits.
- jamesaguilar 16y agoI can verify this claim for myself. I am saturated on the non-monetary benefits I can absorb at Google. In fact, I think the line has already been crossed where, in order to enjoy the benefits I have, I have become less productive at my actual work.
- achille 16y agoI call BS. Facebook was not part of the no-poaching group. And that's where most Googlers are going.
