A Business Insider got hold of an internal memo from CEO Eric Schmidt—for "Googlers only"—which said they'd be receiving 10 percent raises plus a cash bonus for the holidays. The source added that the bonus would be $1,000. "Within hours," CNNMoney reports, "Google notified its staff that it had terminated the leaker, several sources [said.]" Apparently there's nothing like holiday season firing to inspire the people Schmidt called the "best employees in the world."

Google Tipster Fired
Google has a lesson for its employees: Don't tell the world how well we treat you, or you'll be fired. The company apparently told staff today it terminated the employee who leaked word of a 10 percent companywide pay raise.

I doubt he'll be leaking info anytime soon. Weird that they would fire him though.

wow still id love to work for google
thats a bit harsh
Wow, it must suck to get fired right before you get a pay raise and a bonus....
i would assume that this person signed a contract. in agreement not to leak this type of sensitive information. but he does anyway. so whose to blame here.
that is funny/sucky all in one fell swoop.
It sucks he got fired, but it was probably some sort of contract violation.
That's too bad for them.
wow... why did they did do that i mean nothing bad happened as a result...
Google is more Apple-y than I thought!
too bad! i watched an episode about google. i wanna work there
That's really shitty. :<
I guess Google wants to hide the bonuses for some reason. Gee, I wonder why. >_>
Wow... I mean, just... wow!
what a goober, I'd have just shut up and enjoyed the bonuses...
Breaching company information > termination. I see no flaw.
