I worked there much longer than you and 100% agree.

Most people here just confuse high output with actual high performers.

Google no longer is able to place high performers because the current elite class of execs either see them as a threat or narrative disruptors.

Likely you never climbed high enough to see this.

It can even be seen from the outside if you observe the actual output of high ranking Googlers in open source projects and compare that with their status at Google.

Some are just nasty politicians that produce neither quality nor quantity.

People lower down on the ranks never realize that this is going on. They also have no exposure to what people are like higher up, and how much of it is bullshit politics

You’ve criticized me twice (wrongly on both counts) with only speculation as your source. This typically reveals confidence issues

Huh. Worked for two decades at a very high level in the final years at Google. I’m almost entirely positive you never did either.

Sounds like a problem at google then, now that they’re on their “final years”. Why didn’t you fix it at your “high level”?

Is English not your first language? You seem to be repeatedly misunderstanding.

Also you sound new to the company. Also just naive.
