Well this was told to me by xooglers who were now working for other companies, so either they were the ones doing it and that's why they left, or they made it up to make Google sound worse. So I guess take it with a grain of salt?

12 years ago OKRs were huge. And yes, you graded them, managers and other teams viewed them, and you aimed for 0.7. Recently, it was a lot more lax. Many teams didn’t do them, drifted away from them, or didn’t bother grading them

Here here! We don't have to believe everything internet strangers say. The presupposition that an unvetted internet comment will somehow become "vetted" by the probing of _another_ internet stranger doesn't make any sense.
