1. "noticing" and "caring" is not the same thing. They notice it like they notice the rain.
2. Our (*) raises are only very partially affected by company results, and probably not by the quarterly ones.
3. Our bonuses are affected by annual results, nor quarterly ones. Also, they're not so large as to corrupt professional-ethical motivation ("if we cripple the product then the company would make money and we'd get a larger bonus"). AFAICT of course, I'm not a mind reader and only know a small part of the thousands and thousands of employees.
4. There are no result targets with some kind of discontinuous effect on bonuses and raises. At least not that employees know about.
Of course, this could be very different at Google.

(*) - I actually work for a subcontractor so I should probably not even use the first person plural, but let's not complicate the anecdote even further.
