Imagine running a company that's making billions of dollars a quarter and all you and your CFO can offer in terms of growing revenue/profits is laying people off and cutting back on paperclips. Must be nice to have that kind of job security.

- grugagag 4y agoI wouldn’t be surprised if Sundar is forced to step down, his tenure at Google wasn’t that great
- whatever1 4y agoI try to remember what great product did Google release since he took over. I fail to find one. Except milking the YouTube and Google search/ads cows that now are increasingly unbearable. YouTube is worse than cable tv with ads every couple of minutes. Google search is polluted with seo optimized results. Ads are pushing plain scam companies without any due diligence. So yes he increased the revenues, by putting the system in overdrive, but failed to release the next big thing. And now that the cash cows are running out of steam I am not sure where Google is going.

- UncleMeat 4y agoYeah the number of people who seem to forget that Google is among the most profitable companies on the planet both in absolute numbers and in terms of margin is wild. Yes, Google's revenue and income growth rates aren't stratospheric like they used to be. It seems to have more competition for core products than in the past. But like, it makes an absolute shitload of money.
