Google Employees to get Hybrid Car Credits

Business 2.0 is reporting that:

 

Google, based in Mountain View, Calif., offers its workforce a two-tier bonus system: $5,000 for buying a new hybrid car and $2,500 for leasing one.

 

Google Joins Hyperian Solutions, a database/accounting software provider in becoming–as far as I know–the first companies (Timberland is offering a program as well) to offer a program of this scope. I really hope my company does this soon, and I do think this marks the beginning of a trend of companies doing just that.
