"These people" don't deserve punishment any more than a developer who had to make a tough decision does. It's the same situation at a different level with more visibility. Management has its own set of challenges.
> that's "only" 6 billion dollars to keep those "great" people that they "love" working
It wouldn't be fair to them to keep them employed if doing so meant weighing down the company, which could eventually cost everyone else their job. Better to have strong companies that continue to adjust to fit people's needs and let workers move among them.
> these antics require revolution
Revolution to what economic system, exactly? I don't want to live in a world where companies are forced to keep workers in unproductive jobs out of a misplaced sense of goodwill. That sinks the ship for everybody.
- phtrivier 4y ago> Management has its own set of challenges True, and it comes with its own set of perks, too. However, the wording of "taking responsibility for the decisions that led us there" seems to imply that Sundar Pichai agrees that _he_ personally made some _bad_ decisions, and that the _logical_ conclusion is to pass the helm ? Fun fact: in France, a running gag for political jokes is that the sentence "I take full responsibility for xxxx" is almost mechanically expected to be followed by some form of "..., and therefore I resign", because of this spectacular historical precedent [1]. > J'assume pleinement la responsabilité de cet echec, et j'en tire les conclusion, en me retirant de la vie politique. > I take full responsibility for this failure, and as a consequence, leave political life.
