"The uncomfortable truth is that most people don’t give a shit. For example, it’s absolutely shocking that the common paradigm for engineers at Google is to come in at 11am and leave at 4pm. In no world can you be working 5 hours a day and be giving a shit, and so the conclusion is that very little meaningful work gets done at Google. Maybe a bit of a hyperbole, but not far from the truth. That culture is broken"
Hmmm.. hard to imagine a nearly trillion dollar company chugging along nicely without a majority of people "giving a shit".
The author seems to conflate working long hours with productivity and caring about a company. Don't you hate it when CXOs don't realise that they are in the knowledge economy where people have different styles of working and different schedules /shrug
