Recession? Google executives collect hefty bonuses
WASHINGTON: Bonus may be a dirty word on Wall Street right now, but end-of-year cash is still being handed out in Silicon Valley.

Internet search king Google on Tuesday revealed the performance-related bonuses given by the board of directors in 2008 to top executives of the Mountain View, California company.

Topping the list in the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was Jonathan Rosenberg, senior vice president, product management, who received a bonus of 1.64 million dollars.

Robert Eustace, senior vice president, engineering and research, and Omid Kordestani, senior vice president, global sales and business development, each took home a bonus of 1.38 million dollars.

New chief financial officer Patrick Pichette collected 1.24 million dollars while outgoing CFO George Reyes received 675,000 dollars.
