Back

Maybe it is finally hitting home (my brain absorbs slowly). The honeymoon is over - batten down the hatches - fight them on the beaches 'n all that.

But I don't think that's just it. I like hard work. I enjoy running engineering teams and software products as lean as possible. We benefit greatly from generating shared stakeholder accountability with the hugely talented cross-functional teams we have at Google.

Yeah. It's not just that. Read what the bravest lawyer I ever saw wrote...

Now imagine, half the company got fired.

Then almost immediately the bossy top boss-people responsible for:

1. Information security
2. Privacy
3. Compliance

just walked out of the company.

Aside: I had to read this like 4 times in the article because there are no amount of what-the-actual-fuck GIFs able to describe this.

Now this lion-hearted lawyer begins by saying: You probably don't have to go back to the office, oh and I AM a lawyer

and continues...

"I also remind all Tweeps (at least in the US) that we have an unlimited PTO policy. All Tweeps are able to take PTO. Perhaps today is a good day to take some rest and recharge."

THAT'S GONNA MAKE THE NEW BOSS HAPPY HE REALLY SEEMS LIKE AN UNLIMITED TIME OFF KINDA GUY SURE THING TAKE A MONTH WHY NOT

And continues with a takedown of the new boss' motives and personal priorities, which didn't disturb me but yeah, you are either in the ZOMG-TESLA-UBER-GENIUS-ROCKETS camp or you aren't, and frankly I was never close.

Real genius is a rare breed and I've met few. Perhaps a recurring theme of my personal brand of what it takes to be a genius is humility and humility this ain't.

So I'm kinda amused that the boss is getting taken down on company slack and then shit gets dark...
