Say it with me folks: "cartel"
- bayindirh 6y agoFrom "Do no evil" to "Be evil". Magnificent.
- BurningFrog 6y agoThe people from the "Do No Evil" era, who built the company, have all retired with their millions. It's a very different crew running the mature company now.
- cwhiz 6y agoLarry Page was the CEO of Alphabet until the end of 2019. He owns over 40 million shares. Sergey Brin was the President of Alphabet until the end of 2019. He owns ~39 million shares. The actions of Google from inception until 2019 are the personal responsibility of these two men. They are both "retired" as of today but still have an extreme amount of influence on the company. This type of monopolistic behavior will not stop until the people who are personally responsible for corporate behavior are held personally liable.

- StavrosK 6y agoCan I get my pitchfork out if I don't care about working at a FAANG? Because we can go back and forth with "you're just butthurt you didn't get in" "you would say that, you're a FAANG employee" all day long.
