Google has eliminated 35% of managers overseeing small teams in past year

I don't see how Google employees can stomach all the bureaucracy and internal drama of publicly-traded corporate politics for more than about 2 years before taking their "fuck you" money and retiring.

I'm under the impression this is not a popular opinion around these parts, but the barrage of internal-use acronyms for job titles and gleeful posts pedantically explaining their meaning makes working there sound like absolute hell.

To be honest it is. Google HR brand is nothing common with actual day to day bullshit, at least in Core and Cloud orgs.
