My read was L and S were spaced out because the issues googlers kept ranting about were so outside the scope of issues the company was facing.
Workers became increasingly obsessed with political and social issues while the company was dealing with an ultra hostile administration.
- cmrdporcupine 3y agoNah, L&S got bored running an advertising company and moved on. Around the time when they did the Alphabet transition, I attended a few TGIFs where S was there and speaking, and people had tough questions about the whole Alphabet thing (in particular the PA I was a part of, Access & Energy [which included Fiber and what became Google WiFi] had been spun out as a "bet" but nobody could answer basic questions like: how will perf, payroll, GSUs, transfers, etc. work. And S just seemed like a deer in headlights about all this stuff people were asking about. He seemed to think the only things being spun off into bets were groups building rockets or doing genetics and stuff. Anyways, that's about when they started moving on. They got bored. Nothing about whatever social/woke stuff you're intimating here. Sounds like you have a hammer and you're looking for nails to hi.
- tsunamifury 3y agohuh? This got a bit attacking for no reason...
- cmrdporcupine 3y agoSorry, maybe I misread what you were intimating with the social issues stuff. I didn't really get the sense of that from the inside. Not then, anyways.
