Google workers complain bosses are 'inept' and 'glassy-eyed'

Mountain View-based Google is facing complaints from current and former workers who say their bosses are "inept," "boring" and "glassy-eyed."

Top brass at Google have laid off thousands of employees over the past year. As a result, according to multiple recent reports, staff morale is suffering badly, and workers are increasingly public about the slump.

    The Verge reported that CEO Sundar Pichai defended the layoffs and claimed that workers sometimes reach out to express gratitude for the cuts. “And I just want to clarify that, through these changes, people feel it on the ground and sometimes people write back and say, ‘Thank you for simplifying.’ Sometimes we have a complicated, duplicative structure,” he said, per the Verge.

    CEOs are literally psychopaths. Even if this was true (and it’s a big company, so it might be), to claim this is a justification is pure unbridled dishonesty and the desire to say anything at all that removes the blame from your own shoulders.

      It might be partly true, its hard to do good work when you have 3 seperate bosses or supervisors who think you need to do what they tell you and ignore the other 2. Ask me how I know…

      Something something TPS report coversheets.

    Google has one of the highest revenue per employee figures in the industry.
