A Lean Christmas For Google Staff

No cash bonuses for them this year — the company’s stock is trading at less than 50% of what it was last year.  So they only get a free G1 phone.

I’m sorry, but they shouldn’t kvetch, for the following reasons:

(a) 570,000 people are unemployed, the highest number in more than 25 years

(b) The G1’s a great phone

(c) Google unlocked it for them, so they can use it on any network, not just T-Mobile

(d) Did I mention the unemployment rate?

As the song goes, “When the world is running down you make the best of what’s still around“.

Happy holidays, everyone.
