Google allegedly lose staff because they 'paid them too much'

Employees at Google’s self-driving car unit are leaving – not because they feel undervalued, were treated badly, or their bonus packages weren’t reflective of their work – it’s because they were being paid too much.

As reported in Bloomberg, early employees of Google’s car subsidiary, which officially became a standalone business called Waymo in December, received “supersized pay-outs based on the project's value.”

“By late 2015, the numbers were so big that several veteran members didn't need the job security anymore, making them more open to other opportunities.”

According to insiders, two people called it ‘f*** you money.’
