'Morale is at an all-time low': Ex-Googler writes scathing latter slamming layoffs and 'eroded' culture - Lemmy.World

‘Morale is at an all-time low’: Ex-Googler writes scathing latter slamming layoffs and ‘eroded’ culture::An ex-Googler wrote a 1,500-word letter criticizing the firm and CEO Sundar Pichai’s lack of “visionary leadership.”

Sundar Pichai has got to be the worst CEO in the silicon valley period

Google has managed to produce next to nothing of value with a dreamteam of engineers the likes of which no one else had access to

From one uninspired leadership decision to the next thry’ve just been sitting there making GCP more like aws and bolstering what’s already there while every once in a while adding a new product to the Google graveyard

From a shareholder’s perspective, which is the only perspective C suite executives care about, he’s been the best CEO of all time for Google.

Sure, in the short term. I’ve switched to DDG and I’m not getting another Pixel when I need a new phone, and hoards of tech savvy people are feeling the same way. Dissatisfaction is causing them to lose customers and talent.

Eventually, they’ll start feeling it in their bottom line. And by then it might be too late to change course.

When you get a new phone, check out the Fairphone! I got that with CalyxOS. Works just like Pixel but super private 👍
Fairphone is amazing but will they ever launch outside of the EU?
Not sure where you’re located but I live in the USA and have it. I just ordered the phone int and then signed up for a US carrier.
