- lowiqengineer 6y agoWas the "disclosure" necessary, or are you just flexing?
- renewiltord 6y agoLike half of all people on this site are at FAANG+MS so it's not a flex but some people always flip out when you're at one of the big ones and you don't say so when linking to company media.
- jefftk 6y agoMaybe not? But I've seen people here get mad at other employees for not disclosing, so I do it to be on the safe side.
- lowiqengineer 6y agoI’ve never seen anyone from my company disclose, which has way more engineers.

- lowiqengineer 6y ago...only because other folks implicitly look down on me
- jlam 6y agoTo be accurate, partner Shell choose not to re-up its investment after exactly one year, from 2019 Feb 12 to 2020 Feb 18 as indicated in the blog post you linked (actually https://link.medium.com/KBxNNZGcK9 https://link.medium.com/KBxNNZGcK9 since your link didn’t work for me). It seems unfair to blame Alphabet solely, or even Larry, as one comment below did.
