>> Meanwhile the company was focusing on DEI vs skill, and thoughtfulness over delivery > That has nothing to do with any of this. I wouldn't say it's central, but it's definitely not nothing. When a lot of your recognition comes from DEI efforts, "me too" and other such efforts, you can't expect proper focus. There are plenty of irrelevant internal drives where just aligning with them benefits you greatly, instead of aiming to quickly deliver an excellent, user-focused product and then making it even better over time.

When a lot of your recognition comes from DEI efforts I suspect that those efforts were a tiny drop in the ocean of the expense that Google was spending on product investments. If they were anything significant that could affect profits, they wouldnt do anything about it but some PR shows...
