During my recent second stint there I have not seen anyone who was resting and vesting in engineering. I’ve seen a lot of people under tremendous stress working really hard on bullshit that’s not even remotely necessary, but resting and vesting was not something I saw. It could be happening among managers, directors and execs, of whom Google has a tremendous number, but not among ICs, who are impacted by this layoff
- nine_zeros 3y agoI think the problem is not "rest and vest" but an immense amount of red tape and performative work that just eats time from anything productive. When you have so manye levels and each level needs to demonstrate impact by creating meetings, documents, reviews etc - everything is roadblocked. Not to say we don't need reviews but people get discouraged when management doesn't actively try to make lives easier. This shows up as "rest and vest" aka no one is going to care about roadblocks if the people above won't care about it.
