Did not see the earnings report today? Google's revenues grew 56% year over year, they're not overstaffed until they're hiring people without growth.

Google's revenues grew 56% year over year, they're not overstaffed until they're hiring people without growth.
- staunch 19y agoRevenue is always lagging indicator. Besides, only Wall Street analysts make decisions based primarily on revenue. You can do a lot better than that. I think they're overstaffed when they hire people and they're bored, and I think that's been the case at Google for quite some time now.
- andreyf 19y agoBored? So then it is the job of an employer to keep you entertained? hehe. Maybe.
- staunch 19y agoThe kinds of people Google likes to hire are "entertained" by stuff like really difficult technical problems and making useful stuff that people actually use. I'm not suggesting they need to take their staff to the movie theater.
- andreyf 19y agoSo then you mean they are making a mistake when they hire people that would be bored, instead of finding difficult technical problems and making cool useful stuff. I think you're right.
