Video of Eric Schmidt blaming remote work for Google’s woes mysteriously vanishes

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, who has since moved on to greener and perhaps more dangerous pastures, told an audience of Stanford students recently that “Google decided that work-life balance and going home early and working from home was more important than winning.” Evidently this hot take was not for wider consumption, as Stanford — which posted the video this week on YouTube — today made the video of the event private.

He retired? This fuck better not get an appointment in the next administration.

Work/life balance, going home early, and working from home is winning.

I don’t know man, it looks like the lack of focus started well before 2020.

Because Google was so focused and strategic before the pandemic rollseyes.

The issue is Google’s broken governance and incentive system, which gives product owners and executives incentives for new products and actively disincentivizes maintaining and improving existing products…and that was a thing from well before the pandemic hit.

It’s why Google launched three pay systems and had five messaging systems at the same time.

And, finally, this is all because of the strategy set by senior leaders.

a) you’re right. Everyone who says this is right

b) If the senior leaders have designed their own ivory towers to force obsequious behaviour from their own people, they sure as shit won’t listen to totally reasonable analysis from people who don’t work for them. As such, they have engineered their own demise. I wish them well with it.

Yeah, so I know for whom I wouldn’t want to work after graduating.

mPony ,

and nobody in the Stanford audience had the balls to yell out “IT FUCKING IS” at him after he said it. Cowards and sycophants, all.

Mouselemming ,

You assume they were listening.

Of course, of course. It can’t possibly have been management infighting, lack of direction and destructive short term greed. No, it was people wanting to see their kids that are to blame.

The suits have taken over and are cannibalizing the current portfolio. Search is being transformed into a large AI powered advertisement billboard to pump up the profit. Now they’re all surprised search is less used and realize that search is the gateway to their other services. And the management blame storm begins.

Diplomjodler3 ,

If only people had worked more unpaid overtime, none of this would had happened.

SlopppyEngineer ,

none of this would had happened as fast

They always forget that part. Stupid executive decisions will still bring everything down.

If he has time to complain about other people, then he is probably not essential to the operation. Maybe he should be fired instead.

Dead_or_Alive ,

He retired from his role at Google a few years ago so yeah…

But he is still a typical C-Suite asshole. Blame workers for strategic corporate failures (Googles competition all offer WFH) and take personal credit (and bonuses) for any and all successes.

floofloof ,

Also taking huge salaries, bonuses and golden parachutes for any failures, while employees pay the price and you brag about being the one who takes all the risks.
