Money (literally) quote:
And what happens next is precisely what is supposed to happen when companies don’t collude to defraud their employees of fair-market wages: Google coughed up more money to improve its retention.
- CoolGuySteve 13y agoWhat's most amazing about this debacle is how clueless the executives seem to be. From the blatantly illegal smoking gun emails, to Google's almost immediate raise after this scandal became public. It's so coarse.
- nostrademons 13y agoWhen you're an executive, you have many problems. It's pretty common to deal with the immediate one and create a whole host of other ones. One could argue that that's how it should be, because otherwise you're irresponsibly avoiding what you should be doing.
- sliverstorm 13y agoHuh? This just goes back to the whole, fixing the urgent things instead of the important things.
- asdfologist 13y agoI'm not so sure that they're clueless. Even if they lose the lawsuit and pay whatever fines they're slapped with, they might still come out on top, with all the revenues they squeezed out of their workforce during the collusion.
- cbsmith 13y agoExcept Google didn't really cough up more money. They did increase base pay, but they cut back on bonus targets.
