That's pretty generous. In 1990 or 91 (forget which), IBM simply withdrew all of its previously-made job offers to many thousands of new college grads, right at the end of their school year. No compensation, just a letter of apology.

I've always wondered how much that little gesture contributed to the later relative success of MSFT, SUNW, ORCL and friends.
