The uncomfortable truth is that most people don’t give a shit. For example, it’s absolutely shocking that the common paradigm for engineers at Google is to come in at 11am and leave at 4pm. In no world can you be working 5 hours a day and be giving a shit, and so the conclusion is that very little meaningful work gets done at Google. Maybe a bit of a hyperbole, but not far from the truth. That culture is broken.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    What level of devil do you need to be, to want even more from a company that is top-5 in the world in terms of valuation? Any sane person would look at this be like "holy shit, Google is a trillion dollar company because they have 5 hour days?". But when you're horny for ever larger numbers, all nuance is lost.

        Yeah, the company probably is dogshit. It's just crazy that even with the ghoulish metrics this guy no doubt uses, Google is probably what he'd aspire his company to become
