Google CEO tells employees not to ‘equate fun with money’ in heated meeting

I know Google employees who pretty much took arbitrary time off during Covid. There was seemingly no accountability as the cash cow kept on producing and stock prices kept on going up.

Google employees who feel hurt by these actions can feel free to find a better deal elsewhere. After all, they're clearly the cream of the crop by virtue of being paid huge sums of money...

I believe the classic is "Be careful what you wish for." Petty bullshit and disregard for feelings of underlings is what got us the Traitorous Eight in the first place. Telling them basically "Grow up and get up early and wear a suit and tie." proved to be a failure of epic proportions.

Failure for the company, but great for the industry!

Wouldn't you argue this is a good thing as all of these people can go on to take risks by starting new companies?
