Google and the unlucky engineer.

Say what?

Seems that those people who offered you that career advice ages ago about keeping your personal wage information to yourself were doing you a favor. Too bad the Google Engineer didn't heed the advice.

Apparently some Google engineer was fired for leaking the news that every Google employee would receive a 10% raise. He got the memo, started telling people, and then he got the axe!

See.. that just goes to show, when your planning on giving a raise to over 25,000 people at one of the most popular companies in the country - its kinda hard to keep it under wraps. I mean c'mon. Did the Google CEO who made that decision really think that everyone would keep quiet?
