    This makes sense but I’m surprised about the pressure to ship, we saw pressure to deliver but also idiots kept having “brilliant ideas” about the requirements so whatever you were doing was obsolete before it was halfway to completion.

    Google was just like God spilled a person.

      Yeah we were pretty focused on a specific app rework that had full buy-in and a lot of focus.

      Then January happened and afaik all progress has basically stopped according to my old team.

      Not my problem anymore. Got that sweet severance package and a new job that pays better.

        Wow, I left shortly after but I was still fresh.

        Went to a startup with a xoogler boss who was brilliant but without all the stupid bits of Google, he’s awesome and we’re rocking.

        The pay cut was worth the massive decrease in BS, I enjoy my job and being productive.
