Well, Google has a bunch of people who tell themselves they’re the best in the world. I’ve known perfectly reasonable humans start working there and by the time the left they felt they were smarter. By that I mean, in general, smarter than others. You can’t be smarter, you can be smart, but smarter isn’t a state of being. But they definitely feel they are, and assume you know that too. When discussing work I had done with one they insisted I must have based it off of a Google paper, which they weren’t sure if there was one on it, but surely I didn’t do it myself. That level.
One when confronted with the actual remit of their new job at a new company said “wow you hired an atom bomb to open a tin can.” They failed to achieve anything in two years and was fired.
- manmal 3y agoAre you suggesting Google is a narcissist incubator? (only slightly tongue in cheek)
