Millionaire Google CEO Sundar Pichai, wants employees to stop equating “fun” with “money.” In a recent all-hands meeting employees asked him why the company was “nickel-and-diming” them by restricting travel and cutting entertainment budgets and perks, especially at a time when the company had “record profits and huge cash reserves.” He answered that the company was “committed” to taking care of employees. Especially the guys in the corner offices who in 2021 each earned a total compensation of between at least $14 million and more than $28 million. Yet, Pichai’s total compensation was a paltry $6.3 million last year. Poor guy!
Jack still holds the record.
