Sundar Pichai needs to go. In his tenure there has lead to more bad decisions than good, and now their show horse Google Search, is beginning to stagnate.
They need to turn things around fast if they want to keep their reputation and marketshare from dwindling.
A few days ago I got one of the Google IO talks about Android from 2011 recommended on YT. You really can just feel that it was a totally different company. You had devs from Google on stage extremly excitied to show off the cool things they added. Incomparable to now.
The problem is there’s no one better to do it. He’s not great, but anyone else the board would pick as replacement is going to bow even harder to Wall Street.
Definitely feels reminiscent of the “Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party” joke. They’ve been increasingly antagonistic towards their own customers regarding the efficiency of search and numerous other pipelines. It shouldn’t come as a huge surprise that they are also being dicks to their own employees

As long as it’s on the stock market and the expectation from share holders is infinite growth nothing will change no matter who’s in charge.

Is Google turning into IBM?
They probably already have…
I don’t know the worth of this opinion, but it resonates for me. .
I have never worked for Google or an affiliate, so I have no inside take.
