This feels a little disingenuous. I get what he’s saying. He wants a “sprint and rest” type of environment rather than “always jogging” type of environment. His statements on employee entitlement generally resonate with me at a similar company, same with the overall privacy/regulatory stuff, which is a bureaucratic nightmare (like you want to ship a small button change that is delayed 3 months because it needs to go through needless reviews).

If Waze had stayed independent and done so, it would likely be destined for a consent decree with the FTC. Either way his life would have gotten a lot worse--he just experienced the pain via corporate insistent, rather than direct governmental influence.
