Strange, I remember one person who spoke up at Google with what he believed was a legitimate problem and was subsequently tarred, feathered, and fired. Sets a good precedent for this culture they're promoting.

It was effectively removed.

1. Moving from top of the doc to very bottom of multi page doc, after things like Trade Controls.

2. Change of first party imperative to third party - you remember, not we

Are you suggesting that the conclusion of a document isn't an important part of it?

I'd argue that the last sentence is more prominent than anything that isn't in the first paragraph.

And who is "we" if not "you" in your second sentence? That's an employee code if conduct.

Virtue signaling in a generic slogan all but guarantees the peanut gallery has a petty grenade to throw at you for the rest of time.

Google does something unfavorable: "don't be evil, HUH?"

Google takes away the slogan: "so now you're evil, HUH?"

Factually correct, but missing the point entirely. Classic Robot.

It's ok Google, I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed.

You can go back to relentlessly optimizing the max($) function, but everyone is wising up to you.

I'm actually more worried about Amazon, Amazon are an aggressive weed with reaching tendrils, you are more like an aging billionaire, wealthy, unable to innovate, jaded, your spark has gone.

Your questionable activity means you no longer command the respect you once did. The greats are ambivalent about working for you, and the ones you hold - you only hold with money. When you have to pay all the time, it's not love (that's a joke, stand down the database queries)

Incidentally, don't you sometimes wonder why your founders are gone? Why Schmidt is gone? The greats have left, because of who you have become.
