Google Riches Cause Tension

Typically, a story about new-found wealth of employees, after an IPO, would not be worth writing or reading.
However, Google has always had this image of employees working to do the greater good, so a story about the tensions rising, is kind of interesting.
CNet has one such story that looks at how more than 1,000 new millionaires interect with their not-so-lucky co-workers.
"Employee complaints aren't exactly piling up about Google's generous stock grant policies, which have helped create an estimated 1,000 new millionaires, on paper at least. But the SEC filings have struck something of a nerve inside the company by offering an unusually candid look into the wealth of co-workers.
That's creating unaccustomed tensions inside a workplace that has long projected an image of collegial egalitarianism to the outside world, some people said."
