I don't think Larry/Sergey will check for Why I left Google posts on the web and create taskforce to fix all these things. There is always a better way to give feedback to management without posts like this on the web. I hope Xooglers don't become Google haters and spend their energies on creating the next Google or Facebook and create a culture they dreamed of.
- nostrademons 15y agoLarry and Sergey won't. Many other Googlers will. And if the concerns are real and fixable, then it'll get people talking about ways to fix them, and some of those ideas might bubble up to the top. Or maybe not. Oftentimes, things don't even need to bubble up to the top to have an impact. You've got a very distorted picture of large organizations if you think that Larry suddenly makes a decision and then the whole company immediately does what he says. Large companies are really collections of small independent groups, and nobody really understands everything that's going on, and often times the worst problems are best addressed at the middle-management level. I think most rank-and-file Google employees have the same goals as Larry Page: we want to launch things quickly, we want people to use our stuff, we want to have a big impact on the world, and we want the share price to increase. The problem is translating that big-picture desire into specific practices and processes that'll result in that.
