Or it could be clever. Google is at a stage in their corporate life where they need people who aren't primarily chasing money. Maybe this is a plan to get those people to leave.

Who are you kidding? We are all chasing money.

Well, in the sense that we have to have money to survive generally, so we all have to take jobs that pay money, then yes, we are all chasing money. But that doesn't mean we all make the amount of money the PRIMARY determination on where we work and how we spend our time.
Many of us would take a lower paying job if it meant more interesting work, or a better work environment or location, or better long term stability.

"Google is at a stage in their corporate life where they need people who aren't primarily chasing money."
I find myself wondering what possible trigger point for that transition you could have in mind that has not already happened.
