It’s shocking he hasn’t been sacked yet. He’s completely incompetent, has led exactly zero successful initiatives, and has arguably trashed Google’s brand with constant product shutdowns.

Yeah. It makes you wonder what is Google's secret to only Hire and Promote the Best People...

> He’s completely incompetent, has led exactly zero successful initiatives,

That's not what the stock ticker says. That's what the CEO's job is at megacorps, not "product innovation". Google has one core product, Ads.

Everything else loses money.

Ah, so they decide to go the old boeing route, short term profits but long term deterioration.

he's not going to appease rank and file. he's in the pockets of his wall street, private equity bros
