We used to be neck and neck with the likes of apple and Microsoft. But now we have stagnated at 800b. When will Sundar et al realize that over-the-top emphasis on certain things *ahem* is starting to hurt us. We don't need a C-level executive for "diversity," do we? Before I get lynched by the sjw mob, let me say I support diversity but I don't think the amount of emphasis Sundar et al give to it is justified. Can we get an F in the chat?
I get the impression Google is bloated and most people just chill out. You guys are not hungry for anything new. Sad.
How are those two things related, isnt MS big on that stuff too ?
Have you tried selling more ads!?
Just look at whom Google hires: Those engineers who look at Google as a “dream job” and “is willing to learn from smart people around them.” There is not a single person, at least on Blind, who join Google to innovate or improve services. On a side note, if Google is really serious about innovating, they wont be lowballing qualified engineers.
lol 99% of the work in Google is distinctly the opposite of innovation
This argument makes no sense. What project is underfunded because of diversity initiatives? You can do multiple things at a time.
Google has to get better at releasing products and experimenting quickly. Google still operates with the “i am good at one thing” mentality which is great, but if you want the market cap to swell, they have to make some bold bets quickly. This is where amazon has got everyone beat.
OP you'll get much better responses if you post on the internal group.
How is focus on diversity hurting the bottom line?
It’s because Google is a one trick pony. It’s not as if google engineers don’t have other great ideas - they do. What google lacks is the execution.
