No Bonus! Instead, Google gives G1 to the employees!
Google, which we know as a tech giant of todays age is also hit by the economic crises. Each Year in the holidays/christmas season, they used to give away cash bonuses upto $30,000 to its employees. But this year Google gives G1 Android phone worth $180. It was kind of a dog food for Googlers. Google is considered one of the best place to work across the world, but this year, Googlers have got disappointed.
This is the official email by Google to its Employees. Email revealed by ValleyWag:
Googlers,
The holiday bonus is a Google tradition - it’s a great way to thank everyone for their hard work. In the past, we’ve done this in cash. This year, we’ve decided to give Googlers a different kind of present - a Dream phone (this is the same device T-Mobile markets as the G1). We’re really excited about getting the phone to more Googlers in more countries, and also seeing all the cool new things you do with it.
Shipping these special edition phones in such a short time frame (they were designed especially for Googlers with a ‘droid’ on the back) and making sure they would work anywhere in the world was no small feat. So a big thank you to the Android and Legal teams for making this happen. While these phones do not have SIM cards, they are unlocked so they can be used with the network provider of your choice. Plus - thanks to more fancy footwork from the Android team - they’ll work immediately as WiFi devices!
