Mountain View, CA: Sundaresan, who had left Microsoft to work at Google two years back, was visibly embarrassed to admit to his family and friends during a party this Friday night that he had just realized that two zeros were missing in the pay he had been receiving for the last two years. “I mean, I am not trying to boast or anything, but you know – after it reaches a particular number of zeros, you obviously lose track of what that number is – as an example, my colleague Mukesh once told me that it would take an offer beginning with ‘B’ to recruit him out of Google – and that is all he knows about his pay”

Sundaresan had reached out to Google HR, and they had promptly fixed the zeros issue rightaway. SVChronicle has learnt from reliable sources that as a token of appreciation for his efforts and not highlighting the zeros error, they have added two more zeros to his bonus this year.
