lostcolony: thanks for following up and clarifying. Your response makes it clear you probably aren't a googler or xoogler, but that's a plus imho.

You've persuaded me. You don't sound bad at all, and I'm confident I'd actually like working with you, and I apologize for jumping to conclusions prematurely.

Note to self: Ask better questions first.

Best wishes~

Hey, no worries. I'm not a googler or xoogler. It definitely seems like maybe what I said, the way I said it, viewed through a lens different than my own, may have come across quite differently than I intended it.

I can't speak to how particular patterns have played out at Google, I just wanted originally to respond that the advice being given runs counter to my own lived experience at other places. Not to undermine the original post, just to say it may not apply universally.
