Beyond the obvious self-importance embedded in every paragraph of this guy's post, what's the author's point? I've seen these same critiques about data-driven decisions, middle management etc. made about every single large tech company. They're hard to avoid in an org where you have tens of thousands of people. He also didn't talk about anything he accomplished and clearly stated he joined Google just for the networking i.e. "to become an ex-Googler." I'm doubtful he really did anything at all in a short 9 months at Google (just enough to make it past new employee training?) and I'm not sure what this post accomplishes other than making him an extremely undesirable hire at another large tech company. I work at a similarly-sized competitor to Google and this looks like either 1) insecurity about leaving the company 2) a very severe career-limiting move to me. The irony is that a quick LinkedIn search shows he was in people operations at Google!Edit: this submission quickly went dead... looks like he realized after reading the comments.
