I say this as a huge Google fan: Google needs a new CEO immediately. This is their "iPhone moment." I'm referring to 2007 when Microsoft's CEO Steve Balmer said the iPhone would never take off, leading to his replacement with Satya Nadella. Does anyone think Microsoft would be the most valuable company the world today if Steve Balmer stayed in charge? Things looked bleak for Microsoft in 2007 like things look bleak for Google today. Clearly, someone needs to come in an shake Google employees up to get them out of their bubble.

The bubble is worse than I expected. I'm not sure if it's still this way but this was 2017: "Basically, you end up spending the majority of your life eating Google food, with Google coworkers, wearing Google gear, talking in Google acronyms, sending Google emails on Google phones, and you eventually start to lose sight of what it's like to be independent of the big G, and every corner of your life is set up to reinforce the idea that you would be absolutely insane to want to be anywhere else." https://www.businessinsider.com/google-employees-worst-things-about-working-at-google-2016-12 https://www.businessinsider.com/google-employees-worst-thing... Sundar Pichai needs to take the money and buy a sports team like Balmer, who seems very happy these days owning the Los Angeles Clippers
