To be clear, I don't think the issue is that people leave Google on unfriendly terms. I think there are a few other issues: - Once a for-profit company gets to a certain scale, you're going to have people who care more about profit than any original noble intentions (ex.

That makes it extremely difficult to make sure everyone is on the same page. It also makes it very hard to police everything that's happening
