>Its the equivalent of pissing on the shoulder of a titan. Totally deplorable that this is allowed or tolerated.
Google is a corporation, not a gerontocracy where the elders are somehow above the hierarchy. Engineers, distinguished or otherwise are simply employees, just like the CEO. The owners of a corporation and whoever they delegate authority to get to decide who stays. This isn't deplorable, that's how private businesses work. If you expect tenure you choose the wrong workplace.
If a relatively old company is able to reign in seniority somewhat that to me is a pretty healthy signal.
