Inside Google, there’s “a pervasive sense of nihilism that has taken hold.”
This vibe check comes from an engineer named Diane Hirsh Theriault who has been at the company for over 8 years:
Google does not have one single visionary leader. Not a one. From the C-suite to the SVPs to the VPs, they are all profoundly boring and glassy-eyed.
With rolling layoffs continuing to hit different teams, including the X “moonshot” division today, Theriault writes that “executives are cashing out their human capital at the very moment it seems to me like they really need it.”
