It's important to understand that Google is such a large company that it shouldn't really be treated as a single company, or thought of as a single company. To understand why I say this, look at Google's revenue for 2023 (roughly $250B USD). That's comparable to the import revenues of nations like Switzerland and Thailand. So when you hear of "layoffs at Google" it would be better to ask "Layoffs at which division of Google" to get to a scale of an actual, ordinary-sized company. This scale difference is also why companies like Google and Amazon could never fail, barring a cataclysmic natural disaster that would wipe out the majority of humanity. Governments would never allow such large entities to fail.

Sundar The Bozo Pichai needs to go. generally anyone from McKinsey should NOT be CEO of any company.

I’m not shocked that employees think Google lost its vision, considering that their flagship products are more than 15 years old, and they haven’t innovated anything after that. Search, Gmail, Maps. That’s what people think when they think Google.

Sundar Pichai gives off politician/diplomat vibes more-so than CEO vibes. Maybe he’s in the wrong field.

I have been seeing the decadence of the quality in all Google products and thinking a lot about how they stop being nthe center of the innovation and culture... And everything seems to point to the CEO

Engineers are first and foremost to a tech company. Managers are replaceable. If you don’t understand that, you are the problem.

You really see human nature when you work for a company that has seen good times and the staff hears the word layoffs. People you thought were friends really can get nasty. I guess people living paycheck to paycheck panic. I worked at a startup after the whole division was axed I saw an engineer 2 weeks later and he must have lost 40 lbs. I have a friend at Google that just bought a 1.5 million dollar house at 6.5% interest. I did the math and he needs to bring in 18k per month (after taxes) to just live normally. 10 years ago the RSU's could net on average 4 million over 4 years (maybe 2.5 after taxes) but now it's reduced to 1.5 to 2, not good. I don't see how AI is going to get around the energy problem. Without fusion break throughs AI is a pipe dream.

It was a tech company that turned into an advertising company. Few sane people would choose an advertising company to build and maintain the country's (and world's) information infrastructure. It's madness.

Once a company becomes big enough it turns into a Corporation. Quarterly reports, stock price, shareholder pressure - these take precedence over user and employee happiness.

I never did like Sundar Pichai. He. is not a visionary in anyway . He looks like the guy you hire just to please shareholders . A bland CEO. Since he took over, Google has stopped dominating in innovations. By hey what do I know

Google was lightyears ahead with tensorflow, and then they had their own online server rental business for programming.... and it lost the lead in both. I agree with this guy. Google also has 27 other business that could moonshot to something, but not with this defeatist attitude of losing everything

Indian corporate culture is more of reserved, strict and hierarchal, while American is more transparent, open, and willing to take risks and innovate. So I'm not surprised Sundar Pichai just dismissed the culture which made Google great, and is treating it like IBM. It is the anti thesis of Silicon Valley culture which is to fight Big Brother.

This is actually good for innovation. Great employees who are dissatisfied will leave go on to make their own projects spuring competition. But yeah, Google search today is hot garbage.

yes, I agree. I worked at Google off and on over several years. The middle management there now is just horrid. I wanted to go back there a few years ago, but then came to my senses. Would never want to work there now. BTW, Apple isn't much different.

Didn't that guy say he was tired of working at Google for 18 years and was thinking he would leave a couple years ago? And if you check his X page, he was just bunt out kind of and was glad to work at Google for all of the years.
