# Battle over the Google Bonus Plan

John Battelle broke the story of

[how Google will assign bonuses](http://battellemedia.com/archives/001227.php)

.
Then

[Russell Beattie leaps in](http://www.russellbeattie.com/notebook/1008287.html)

. He slams this idea. As do I. Google will create a culture of have and have nots. And with morale being anecdotally reported as low due to the publication of money made by people when Google went public, I continue to feel that Google will implode or get acquired within 5 years.
