Google employees have much to smile about today after it was announced that all company employees will receive a tasty pay bump. AP reports, "Google Inc. is showing it still knows how to make its employees feel special: It is giving all 23,300 of them 10 percent raises next year." This comes on the heels of the Mountain View-based tech giant announcing that its "revenue rose 23 percent to $21 billion through the first nine months of 2010." Jealous? We sure are.

One employee who won't benefit from the pay raise is the one who leaked this story. According to CNN (via SFist commenter porkbun), "Google CEO Eric Schmidt announced the salary hike in a memo late Tuesday, a copy of which was obtained by Fortune. The memo was also leaked to Business Insider, which broke the news. Within hours, Google notified its staff that it had terminated the leaker." Oops.
