IMHO, these senior people leaving is a good thing for them and for society.

Most have enough savings to be able to start up something interesting, fun, and that delivers a lot more societal value than their current Google role.

Junior redundancies are more problematic, particularly in the current job market.

It's only a matter of time before there a no remaining don't-be-evil googlers. Not particularly looking forward to that.

That boat has sailed. Everybody knows the score or has their head in the sand.

And that time was 2009? Who with any morals would have worked at Google at any time since then?
