So they either spoil their employees, which as you pointed out is going to come back and bite them, or by out startups and other companies, expanding the risk of creating an HR monster. Because they have so much funds, they can buy out any 'potential' competitors so I don't see their position as a leader change any time soon.

You are so right! There are big entitlement problems where my wife works. Unfortunately, I think it’s just human nature that we become entitled. It takes a level-headed person to realize that unless he/she is the owner of the company, all he/she is really entitled to is a safe place to work and the agreed upon compensation for work performed. The line between perks, and employee rights gets blurry sometimes. Humbling, but true. Very interesting point, Mr. Bostrom. You are so right! There are big entitlement problems where my wife works.
