Engineers can move up and have influence.
- onlyrealcuzzo 8y agoInfluence is irrelevant. A publicly traded company (especially of Alphabet's size) has fiduciary obligations.
- anticensor 8y agoSome engineers also have shares. US for-profit (non-bank, non-insurance, non-investor bund) companies, unlike European ones, are not legally required to maximise profits unless they are insolvent. Primary reason for short-time profit drive is investor pressure. The most important fiduciary duty is business competence. The right to reap profits is given in exchange for that.
