Google employees are upset over CEO Sundar Pichai's $226 million pay raise and $70 billion stock buyback plan while the company is cutting costs and jobs.
Internal Google platforms have been filled with memes and criticism of Pichai for taking a pay increase while cutting costs elsewhere.
Pichai's compensation package included a $218 million stock award, a $2 million base salary, and nearly $6 million for personal security.
Some employees are also frustrated that Google's stock buyback plan shows more respect for external shareholders than for its own workers.
