If you're responsible for thousands of employees, your performance report should be (with very limited sensitive redactions) open source. You're getting paid millions and everyone deserves to know what "full responsibility" means. This isn't "acting like schoolchildren", it's part of getting people to buy into the system. I don't buy into your hero worship. Sundar took a crazily profitable company with tens of billions in raw cash and did a messy disorganized layoff where, unlike Alphabet's biggest competitors such as MS, Meta, and even freaking Amazon, Googlers woke up to no access, no chance to transition or hand off, and no chance to say goodbye. It was a disgrace and not something worthy of praise or pay increase.

I hate sundar. Took a great company and made it boring. Like I have less hope for the future now because of the one company that inspired me to break the corporate norms, is itself broken. But I despite hate more. And there is nothing that says hjs penalty needs to be open. Large organizations like democratic govts need openness. Dictatorships need secrecy. And companies are in a category between the two.

  > But I despite hate more. Lol at your hate statement and that he received any penalty. His annual salary massively jumped up to $242 million as Google fired tens of thousands of employees, many with no notice. He has now >800 times the median employee's pay. Anyone would love to take those penalties. You might want to take a small step back and objectively evaluate your shining bias.

    I'm not going to be judgemental of someone's salary. Or that he was given a raise. Unfortunately ceo salaries are not based on how happy the employees are. Or how justly they have dealt with them. They are just indicators on how happy investors are.

      Google stock is down 10% in the last year while MSFT and META are up 10%. How happy are those investors?
