Google Hands Out G1 Phone for Christmas Bonus











Google handed out their G1 phone as a Christmas Bonus. Not totally clear if this is all the bonus their employees get or not. Reading a number of sites, including Internet News, some believe the giant tech company held off on their traditional bonus, which some times went as high as $20,000 per employee, and handed out a phone.

This can go one of two ways, the first is the employee already has a phone and this could be viewed as an impersonal way to say thanks for your blood sweat and tears. Or one can look at this and think, well the employees get to work for one of the only true sure things left in todays economy. They could be happy they have a job and that their employer appreciated them enough to say a little extra thanks. I mean after all, the real thanks is a stable pay check. Personally, I think what they did was a very nice gesture.
