All of these people are responding talking about how it doesn't pay the same at Google yet this site is filled with miserable people making hundreds of thousands of dollars and constant threads about it. Perhaps greed isn't as fulfilling in life as actually enjoying one's self and performing a job that has perceived value.

...or maybe these people don't remember (or have never had the experience of) working a low-paid job. Or maybe people like to complain. Or maybe there's just a lot of selection bias in the commenter pool. Maybe all the people happily working at Google are just busy working and don't care about HN drama.

I don't think it's "greed" to want to work as a software developer instead of flipping burgers (I've done both). However it should probably raise some eyebrows in Google management (among others) that a company in an industry known for slim margins and low pay nonetheless manages to have happier employees overall.
