They can’t, really, as they don’t know who is working on what! It’s not a joke, there are 1 member teams reporting to 1 Manager working on secret projects no one knows owns about, in some cases, including that Manager 🤫
You get disclosures from your manager. In order for a manager to be able to give disclosures, they have to be disclosed. There are teams that work on projects that few people are disclosed on but, there’s definitely not one person working on a secret project no one knows about, including the manager. The closest is if your manager is looking at future things, they might be disclosed on that whereas the rest of the team isn’t because they’re still working on the present item. The biggest issue is that all teams run slim and at startup capacity from a SWE level. Meaning that if single person or team gets laid off, it’ll be absolute hell to recover.
I’ve seen people be on projects that the Skip is not disclosed though. Manger usually are, but not the org. Also the disclosure is not controlled/approved by manager.
Google really really wants everyone else to stink as much as they do.
