> Honestly Google sounds like it's filled with what can be considered the modern equivalent of upper middle class government administrators of past eras I like this, I've thought this before too about a lot of big tech companies that are throwing off cash and essentially want to make sure they have a bunch of top people but don't really need them for anything particular day-to-day. So the employees become a kind of aristocracy with a few symbolic duties, but largely a life of leisure, attending company events and reading clubs and pushing paper back and forth, while making salaries high enough they dont have to worry about anything. I know this is an exaggeration, but there is some truth to it, and I definitely know environments where one could behave that way.
