Comment on Google to give staff 10% raise

Comments

http://www.businessinsider.com/google-bonus-and-raise-2010-1... claims that In addition, Google will also give each employee an additional raise equivalent to 1X the employee's target bonus for the year.

My understanding is that Google "target bonuses" are much, much more than 10% of salary. I've heard 30%-40% as not uncommon. So does that mean that people are actually getting a much bigger raise than the headline indicates? (Or is the "target bonus" something else again?)

My understanding is that the target bonus is more in the 15% range but that there are multipliers (company and personal) that most of the time turn that ~15% into the 30-40%.
