After ~12 years, I've resigned from Google. Today is my last day. Despite this is my decision, my heart is heavy with sadness.
I chose April 1st to fool around, and planned to share what's to come next, but I think today I'd just grieve for my dream job.
Thank you Google!
For years I have obsessed over @stripe’s culture. I keep a Notion page called Stripe culture to compile all public documentation I can find around how they operate.
Nerded out about this with @zebriez once only to discover she has a far more thorough compilation.
When I heard about this new book on scaling people by Stripe COO @chughesjohnson, I don’t think I smashed that pre-order button harder in my life.
This operating bible is incredible. I’ve been savoring each chapter and quite literally feel glee every time I open the book because my brain explodes with learnings from every single page.
It’s the ultimate goldmine on understanding how Stripe, Google, and Claire operate and how to apply these principles and tactics into your own organization.
This is not sponsored and I don’t know Claire at all but thank you for writing this @chughesjohnson. I hope your book inspires more leaders to codify and share their company’s operating principles publicly like this.
Are you hiring privacy or information security folks? I know a number of really excellent folks who are coincidentally looking for work for exactly the reason you think they are.
