I've heard this story before, but I don't remember a mass exodus from "da goog" as the article hideously calls it. I wonder what the motive is.

The stock ticker is GOOG and everyone who works there knows it; "the goog" and the more anagrammatic "el goog" are common slang.

Reads like FUD, also it is from January 2015.

I'm pretty sure this exact story made it to HN when it was published as well - I remember reading this then.
