发帖数: 36 | 1 In September I wrote about Google’s “extraordinary” efforts to stop
employees, particularly engineers, from resigning to join pre-IPO startups
like LinkedIn, Twitter and especially Facebook. In one case we confirmed an
engineer making around $150,000 turned down a 15% raise plus $500,000 in
restricted stock and left for Facebook anyway.
That’s all chump change now. We’ve confirmed today that a staff engineer
at Google being heavily romanced by Facebook was offered a jaw dropping $3.5
million in restricted stock by Google (this means Google is handing over
stock worth $3.5 million based on its value today, and that stock will vest
over time). He quite wisely accepted Google’s counter offer. Facebook lost
this one.
From our previous post in September:
Sources close to Google told us that about 80% of people stay when they
’re offered a counter to a Facebook offer. But some still leave. Part of
that may be that Facebook is quietly telling people, never in writing, that
there’s no reason their stock won’t hit $100 billion in total valuation
over the next couple of years. No guarantees, yadda yadda, but hey if you
get 1/10 of 1%, that’s $100 million in stock. Now it’s a party.
Google isn’t making these kind of counter offers to everyone, but it’s
not a one off, either. It seems to me that every Google engineer at least
should be taking a personal day to go collect a Facebook offer. Even if it’
s just to get a counter offer from their current employer.
However effective these counter offers are, they sure aren’t good for
morale internally at Google. Unless, of course, you’re one of the ones
winning the lottery. | E********a
