Nintendo Kid posted:reminder that schmidt was hired "to be the adult" since the original google founders understood they were just dumb college kids this is absolutely true. i've been in meetings with larry and sergey where they were shooting spitballs at each other and loving around and eric would stand up, walk over to between them and put a hand on each of their shoulders and say, "larry, do you have something to say to the end team? sergey, do you have something to say to the eng team?". it was surreal.

so he's good at "being the adult" situationally when surrounded by misbehaving children but as far as actually being a mature, professional, ethical, socially well-adjusted person? not so much

this is workplace etiquette 101. scratch that. it's remedial workplace etiquette, X99. don't gently caress coworkers and especially don't gently caress underlings. just don't do it! go across the street to starbucks and gently caress those people.

although they (googs) are still unable to conceptualize and plan in any sort of long-term or professional way. a short while ago they needed a single page (front and back) fact sheet. it went through 30+ revisions. to compare, similar projects for microsoft would go through 3 or 4 revisions (depending on the business group)
