Google stock is up 56% compared to a year go.

And yet Sundar is happy to destroy morale by keeping to fire people.

after saying "Google's CEO, Sundar Pichai, Says Laying Off 12,000 Workers Was the Worst Moment in the Company's 25-Year History"

It’s shocking he hasn’t been sacked yet. He’s completely incompetent, has led exactly zero successful initiatives, and has arguably trashed Google’s brand with constant product shutdowns.

Yeah. It makes you wonder what is Google's secret to only Hire and Promote the Best People...

That's not what the stock ticker says. That's what the CEO's job is at megacorps, not "product innovation". Google has one core product, Ads.

Everything else loses money.

Ah, so they decide to go the old boeing route, short term profits but long term deterioration.
