I just find this whole thing ridiculous. With 23,000 employees - and the friends and family they shared the news with - the news was bound to get out anyway.
Google actually did pay the bonuses in cash.
"Google gave employees the option of taking their $1,000 bonus home in cash on the day of the announcement. Which would undoubtedly have constituted a pleasant surprise for the families of many."
I wouldn't want to be part of the team putting that cash in envelopes.
Hm, must've missed that. I doubt too many decided to take it as cash anyway.
Still, the argument that the leak put every one at the company in danger seems ridiculous to me.
