Did work with a couple of these.
I couldn't tell if it was because of the flim-flam nature of the people they hired, or the flim-flam nature of Google's organizational culture.
A lot of good ideas died on the vine either way.
- bumby 2y agoWhat do you mean by "flim-flam"?
- JackFr 2y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scam A scam, or a confidence trick, is an attempt to defraud a person or group after first gaining their trust. Other terms for scam (aside from confidence trick) include con, con game, confidence game, confidence scheme, ripoff, stratagem, finesse, grift, hustle, bunko (or bunco), swindle, flimflam, gaffle, and bamboozle.
