google had a fair number of older programmers (like over 50) when I was there. they had a group for them, 'greygler', also gaygler (not positive of the spelling). google has a bunch of employee groups that are portmanteau's of something + google.
- xigency 6y agoPhrases like that along with the policy of having new Googlers (Nooglers?) wear propeller hats really turns me off of the idea of working at Google. It sounds like joining a fraternity. Maybe a goofy one but still a frat.
- cameronbrown 6y agoIn my experience people who don't work there tend to focus on the "weird" stuff like it's the entire culture. It's not like you get forced to wear the hat for a week.
- pinewurst 6y agoI believe that (the odious portmanteau) “greygler” is defined as being over 40.
- NotSammyHagar 6y agoOh, so I was one then. I didn't join the club :-)
