That talks about Collabra eating Netscape from within by destroying its culture. You might argue that Doubleclick has been steadily doing that to Google.

There's the whole antitrust lawsuit about no-poach agreements among valley companies.

If your company starts doing this, worry.
Reports on wages and working conditions are fair game.
Plug: my 2011 posts are organized in meaningful categories in my book (link in profile). You might give it a shot if you prefer that arrangement.
- gruseom 14y agoWhat's "badging"? Also, re acquired company "eating [acquirer] from within" and "You might argue that Doubleclick has been steadily doing that to Google" ... that's pretty interesting. I remember thinking "weird cultural mismatch" when Google acquired Doubleclick. Could you expand on this?

The attached laptop then plays the DING! noise from Gattaca. No, really, it does. Except when it played the vuvuzela sound. As for Doubleclick, well, that one's harder to explain. It sure seems like the company ate something it couldn't handle. "Ugh, bad pie."
