Google is [was?] a geek company. You could get a good pay by being really good at coding. Most companies out there, the only way to get a high compensation is to play Games of Thrones on the management ladder. Actually doing any work is shunned upon.
- jedberg 9y ago> Actually doing any work is shunned upon. You clearly don't understand what a manager does if you believe what they do isn't work.
- pacala 9y agoThere are indeed many definitions of work. I'm using "something produced or accomplished by effort, exertion, or exercise of skill", https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/work https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/work. But then again, managers are very skilled at power games, and the ultimate sign of power is taking credit for what your subordinates produced.
- scarface74 9y agoYou're working for a bad manager. I appreciate the management at my company. They keep the lights on and take care of all the stuff I would never want to do and I can concentrate on development.
- 659087 9y agoFrom my experiences with friends who worked or work at Google, you could fit in just as well by being a mediocre programmer or graphic designer who really enjoyed kool-aid. The terms "Googley" and "Googler" quickly became the equivalent of nails on a chalkboard to me thanks to these people.
