Pichai to take pay cut

Project Manager

Narayan Murthy crying in the corner

Research Specialist

Want to get some perspective here because I think it’d be valuable to hear about other people’s experiences.
This job at Google has completely destroyed my confidence and I feel so paranoid about shipping anything now.
I have made some mistakes but I have always caught them in staging or working drafts.

Here is what my manager has said to me:
- I lack attention to detail.
- I do not have drive.
- I do not have any ambition.

And the reason I have been told this is because:
I messed up a flow that the Lead PM had come up with in the first place. Then the Lead PM flips back on me and says that it would be "an embarrassment" to ship this.

I find myself immersed in a constant cycle of spending hours each day reviewing work, gripped by the fear of facing criticism or even the prospect of being fired. Despite investing significant time and effort, it seems that the only feedback I receive is overwhelmingly negative. It has reached a point where I question myself and wonder if I should have not been here at all. This toxic work environment is undeniably draining, and I'm left grappling with insane anxiety. Has anyone else faced this?

Am I bad at My Job Or Do I Just Work With Unstable Coworkers?

Atleast not in the form it is now. Found a rare good post on LinkedIn via Twitter which lists the reason why i think so. Also, I was reading psychology of money and one of the chapters discussed how GE used to be the most valued company in 2000s and how within 20 years, everything went to manhole.

Google is seriously going through a leadership crisis. I hate Pichai from the gut. We Indians like him coz he's brown munda, but I have never seen such narrow minded CEO since Balmer.

Hot Take: Google will not exist in next 30 years

Many other xooglers raised these leadership issues earlier. 
 Meanwhile, tier2/3 kids are burning midnight oil to land up in Google to start YT channel

The arrogance just a few months back: https://youtu.be/4erSfOlKvhA?t=222
Vs. breaking into tears now :/

This is infuriating. I feel it took a lot for BYJU's to become so big. But 'breaks into tears' is just them finally internalizing how deep the screw up is (Link in desc of a few months back)

Looks like that 30,000 job cut claim is gradually being executed at Google through the year.

This will impact others such as WICTH & other tier1.

Google lays off more employees and moves some roles to other countries

Covid charity hiring and Diversity hiring ate google from inside just in 3 years. 🥲

Google has potentially lost Google Drive user data.

I am impacted. Cant find files of recent months. They are not much important to me.

Google drive data lost for users

They did a mass delete for inactive accounts recently, no.
Guess they forgot a WHERE clause

Varun went to Google I/O and met with Sundar Pichai. What are your thoughts on the teaser they have just posted? 

Google feels iffy to me every 2 years I work here. Personally, feel like there's not a lot to learn here just a lot to earn, seen multiple folks move around various products just to freshen up the vibe yk? 

Saw Varun's teaser and he's asking some good questions but from what I know about SP, he's probably going to land a diplomatic CEO response. What do you think folks?
