Google : 1.000 $ de bonus surprise et 10% d’augmentation pour tous les salariés

Google sait garder ses employés !

Ca se passe comme ça, chez Google : il y a la culture d’entreprise avec notamment le temps qu’on a le droit de consacrer à ses projets personnels pendant ses heures de travail et puis, il y a ces cadeaux qui tombent du ciel. Les employés de Google (et ils sont 20.000) viennent de recevoir un email interne, signé Eric, autrement dit Dr Eric Schmidt. Le PDG de Google leur apprend donc deux bonnes nouvelles : la première, c’est qu’ils seront tous (y compris les employés à temps partiel)augmentés d’au moins 10% à compter du 1er janvier 2011. La seconde, c’est qu’ils vont tous toucher un bonus de 1.000 $ net, Google prenant à sa charge les impôts liés au versement de ce bonus. Très grand seigneur.

Cette largesse a évidemment un but : conforter l’image de Google qui est déjà l’une des entreprises les plus convoitées, mais aussi dissuader certains de ses salariés-clé de partir, ce qui risque un peu moins d’arriver.

Voici le mail d’Eric Schmidt dans son intégralité, et en anglais :

CONFIDENTIAL: INTERNAL ONLY
GOOGLERS ONLY (FULL TIME AND PART TIME EMPLOYEES)

I’m pleased to share some very, very good news with Googlers worldwide. But first let me say, on behalf of everyone on the management team, that we believe we have the best employees in the world. Period. The brightest, most capable group of this size ever assembled. It’s why I’m excited to come to work every day–and I’m sure you feel the same way. We want to make sure that you feel rewarded for your hard work, and we want to continue to attract the best people to Google.

So that is why we’ve decided…to give all of you a 10% raise, effective January 1st. This salary increase is global and across the board–everyone gets a raise, no matter their level, to recognize the contribution that each and every one of you makes to Google.

There’s more. We’ve heard from your feedback on Googlegeist and other surveys that salary is more important to you than any other component of pay (i.e., bonus and equity). To address that, we’re moving a portion of your bonus into your base salary, so now it’s income you can count on, every time you get your paycheck. That’s also effective January 1st. You’ll be receiving an email shortly with further details about these changes to your compensation. And one last thing…today we’re announcing that everyone will get a holiday cash bonus, too.

Googlers, you are what makes this company great, and our goal here is to recognize you for your contribution, in a way that’s meaningful to you. Thank you for all that you do, and for making Google a place where magic happens.

Eric
