This could actually be a boon to employees at Google as this may mean they have to start raising salaries.
The same thing happened at Microsoft, Intel, Cisco and Adobe as they transitioned from growth companies to mature companies. Once they couldn't necessarily count on their rising stock price to act as part of their employee's compensation they started to raise salaries to help make up the difference.
