The fuck is a scathing latter?

It's a cult where members think they are special because they know algorithms.

They pay good salaries to grab people who could otherwise create something worthwhile. Now they do shit for Google, like ads.

You see the problem here is that lives are not disposable. Taking all the risks and making the people suffer the consequences is really shitty. I if they instead focused on steady growth rather than giant leaps, nobody would get laid off. Layoffs are a sign of incompetence from leadership

Google has completely lost its way. On my Pixel 6 recently the voice typing doesn't even work correctly. Although it works sometimes it tends to cut me off where is it worked perfect a few weeks ago. Google is constantly introducing new bugs into Android and into their native apps. I can tell morale must be very low because shit doesn't work.

When there is this much money involved nothing can survive. Greed is the most pervasive evil there is.
