Doesn't even question what employees are possibly doing. Just says there are too many and they must be put out on the street. Says the people who are left are making too much money.

I say this a lot but....seriously....when do we start burning things?

Hedge fund. He doesn’t care about the employees or the company. Just the money he can make trading the stock.

I want to make money off of Google stock too, but I also want their shit to work so I can make more money in the future.

Hey remember when Google Drive lost thousands of customers data for the past 6 months? That was in November.

I own a little Google stock. I don’t mind they pay their employees a shit ton. I want them make good products. I’m not a fan of most their products but that’s just me

🤣

I own about 250k of Google stock. So a little bit. I don’t own more because I don’t like that you are the product.
