> For a meritocracy to work, it needs to engender a culture where there is an "obligation to dissent" Eric Schmidt, et al. "How Google Works", (pp 41-42) So now with a ship full of passengers thinking they are headed to "bring your whole self to work" town, they are changing course, and are headed to "shut up or you'll be fired" town. I can imagine the passengers are not going to be happy about it. As they say, it's their company and they can go anywhere they want. It's just hard to understand why they had to change course, and couldn't be the place they kept telling the kids out of college about. It doesn't seem like they are struggling to turn out profits. I wonder what the original founders think of this? Are they happy about it. Is it the company they thought Google would be... On the good side, it seems Rebecca already got some offers. At least other companies like people who stand up for their principles.
