I think companies are. When I worked at Google, I put my bonuses in a deferred compensation plan which was managed by the internal treasury management team. That's the team that tries to make money off of cash that's just sitting around with nothing to spend it on. I think I got about 3% return on that, which was in the era of 0% savings accounts and 0 yield US treasuries. (With 20/20 hindsight, you would take all that money in Google stock and hold it, of course, but I had more than enough exposure to the share price at the time.)
