At an all-hands meeting last week, Google executives responded to employee questions about declining morale even with financial performance improving.
A decline in morale after record profits? I think a pizza party is an order.
I’ll take Hawaiian.
Pinaple on pizza, for the love of god!
I’m not attending this pity pizza party to myself feel good.
Pineapple is good on lots of food, including pizza. Another good pizza is banana, chicken, and curry. Very tasty, very juicy.
My guess is you’re from Sweden? 😂
“Despite the company’s stellar performance and record earnings, many Googlers have not received meaningful compensation increases” a top-rated employee question read. “When will employee compensation fairly reflect the company’s success and is there a conscious decision to keep wages lower due to a cooling employment market?”
With this leadership, when you unionize. It’s literally what they’re for.
Still, asking the question in this clear way that almost evokes the answer by itself is important. It puts it into the heads of people watching. Could be a union instigator. 😅
It’s also why there’s no way Google can sustain these numbers. They pay workers like a random startup, just without any possibility of striking it rich on stock options. They are likely to be hemorrhaging talent at all engineering positions.
They don’t care. They have monopoly over everything! They have your phones private data, they have your search history, they have your automatically uploaded pictures to Google drive of your butthole! They own you and you’ll do as they like, whenever they like! Now where’s that guy who knows how to operate all that stuff? Wait, he was fired to lower costs? Oh…
They’d sell your soul for a couple of bucks.
Company-wide email: “We’ve had our best year EVER and it’s all thanks to YOU!”
Me: “Great. Can I have a raise?”
Company: “Oh, we can’t afford THAT.”
“Due to current market conditions . . .” is the line my group has been given. There never seems to be market conditions where the workers get to win.
Do no evil.Beatings will continue until morale improves.
Beatings will continue until the stock price improves.
The stock price has improved yet the beatings continue
