But that's just the word on the street. We don't have access to Googles performance reviews to judge. Plus, from my experience, performance reviews are pretty meaningless. They just measure how much you conform to the corporate hive mind rather than how good you are as an engineer.
And to play the devis advocate, if you don't need those people anymore, why keep them, regardless of their performance reviews?
Just to have the most expensive seat warmers in the world?
- candiodari 4y agoOne might hope Google's performance reviews are not meaningless to Google. I mean if they are, why bother?
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoI'm asking again. What good is it performance when you don't need those people because you have no meaningful work to give them due to shifts in market/product development? Keeping expensive seat warmers?
- candiodari 4y agoYou are just pushing the same pre-existing assumption here. Obviously that company thinks they're useful. Also I would argue that if a company cannot use these people to make profit and grow, that company should probably be ended. If you simplify things, then literally the ONLY point of a (public) company is to invest in the means of production, and have that investment grow over time. If a company cannot use people to grow, it's useless as a company. At best this is a serious management failure.
