Lost the magic of Google
Lost the magic of Google
The best part about Google is still the people. Some of the smartest people in the world work at Google, and many are approachable and interested in solving problems.
Google used to have the culture where they treated their employees well, so they really wanted to work there and do amazing things. This is definitely not true anymore.
In more and more spaces, I'm seeing, "How do we do the minimum to make people work?"
It's very disheartening and incredibly difficult to be a manager now.
Leadership can review their new attitude and stop going to battle with their employees. Google used to be a place where we were all in it together and did some amazing things because of it.
I’ve been told from many leaders, “This is just a job, and you need to make that mindset change to stay working at Google.”
