Comments on: Google’s offer letter to its new CFO… http://www.footnoted.org/buried-treasure/googles-offer-letter-to-its-new-cfo/ Michelle Leder's guide to what's hiding in SEC filings Thu, 11 Mar 2010 20:18:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Mark Brennan http://www.footnoted.org/buried-treasure/googles-offer-letter-to-its-new-cfo/comment-page-1/#comment-6447 Mark Brennan Sat, 04 Oct 2008 23:44:44 +0000 http://www.footnoted.org/?p=1946#comment-6447 Well, all I can say is that employment legislation and standards in the US are very different from Mr. Pichette's home country, namely Canada. There is no such thing as "at will" employment in Canada (thankfully). Everyone deserves some financial security in their employment, even those that carry a base salary in excess of $400k! All that aside, I'm sure he'll be very successful in his new role. He did a bang up job while working at Bell. One key correction to this article - he was actually "president" of network operations at Bell Canada prior to leaving, slightly different than a "director" - by about $300k!

Not to mention the fact that this is the first time Google has included a hiring letter in its SEC filings. That alone makes it somewhat unique.

There is nothing "interesting," or unusual about them.
