Translation, for those unfamiliar with internal Google politics:
We have already promoted and transferred all the product managers and senior developers who created Stadia. None of them will suffer any ill effects from this disastrous waste of Alphabet resources.
All our other struggling products, though: we're still fully committed to those. Really. You can believe us this time.
- foobiekr 4y agoI would love to know how many promos and packages Stadia generated. Was it at last efficient by this measure? So many google projects seem to be quite inefficient in this regard - a handful of people get a promo and abandon the project, millions spent.
- bogwog 4y agoMaybe (probably not) this high profile disaster will finally make the leadership at Alphabet realize how ridiculously dysfunctional the organization is, and things will finally start to change. (doubt it)
- AlbertCory 4y agoI also doubt it. The standard playbook for an ambitious PM or L7 SWE is: 1) sell product internally 2) launch 3) get credit for "impact" and get promoted thereby 4) transfer within Alphabet, or quit 5) rinse and repeat
