"If you're a Google employee and you aren't out interviewing at Facebook, Twitter or Zynga you are a moron"
This is why this has to be false. The precedent would be destructive. How many employees will go out looking for a job to use as leverage, not get a google counter offer, and just leave?
- tzs 16y agoOr it could be clever. Google is at a stage in their corporate life where they need people who aren't primarily chasing money. Maybe this is a plan to get those people to leave.
- angryjim 16y agoWho are you kidding? We are all chasing money.
- tzs 16y agoWell, in the sense that we have to have money to survive generally, so we all have to take jobs that pay money, then yes, we are all chasing money. But that doesn't mean we all make the amount of money the PRIMARY determination on where we work and how we spend our time. Many of us would take a lower paying job if it meant more interesting work, or a better work environment or location, or better long term stability.
