Ex-Google. I spent years optimizing for visibility at work when all I wanted was visibility with my family. I write 90% myself. Long-form.


I know a company where IC project managers call themselves COO, sales managers call themselves business heads, finance managers and controllers call themselves CFO. It's Google, go check LinkedIn. Point is, just be very careful when interviewing the folks who have overstayed and can't bring any value to a new company.

A Perry Mason moment here between AOC and Lee Zeldin. After Lee Zeldin denies meeting with Bayer to discuss litigation the company was facing, AOC presents visitor logs and emails from Zeldin’s senior advisor stating that Zeldin would be meeting with the Bayer CEO to discuss “legal/judicial issues.” “In this internal email, it says that Bayer was specifically seeking and discussing Supreme Court action, it would want an update on EPA’s regulatory review, and that, interestingly, Bayer will provide a small thanks for updating the glyphosate webpage from the EPA and work on MAHA.”

The majority of Googlers have been playing the wrong game and can't land something meaningful in today's job market. This is how to identify the ones you want to hire: 1. Dig into real, project specifics. Googlers are encouraged to talk about how they created impact when all they did was socialize their stakeholders' work. 2. Scrutinize the impact they claim. Did a client spend money because the product sold itself, or because their work created a 0>1 impact? Ask how they tracked it. Be suspicious about correlation claims. 3. The most important one: be very careful of those who have been promoted more than once within Google. It is entirely a political effort. Those who have optimized for promotions are the same ones saying no to actual "unimportant work" that impact stakeholders and clients. There are so many examples of senior management Googlers jumping to other companies using the brand name, but failing to generating impact. Just noise.
