I question anything based on an employee survey. Scott Adams, author of the 'Dilbert' series, has great takes on what such surveys are really for.

A non-anonymous survey, and almost all of them are, is useless at best.

This is sheer speculation, but it would be interesting to see a much more detailed breakout of the crosstabs on such a survey at Google or other hyper woke companies. These people aren’t stupid (although some of them are so woke it can be hard to tell). A substantial proportion of the skilled worker bee types are very much aware that they are in racial or gender groups that are being systematically discriminated against. They can’t say anything publicly without adverse consequences, and that is another grievance. But when pay, promotions, project assignments and career growth are heavily influenced by the intersectional bonus scoring system ... well, an anonymous survey (if you are confident that it is in fact anonymous) might be the only place to sound off.

Dissatisfaction with execution is trickier but could well be related. In this case, some of the problem (and maybe most of it) would have to do with size and rapid growth. Google is much too big to be nimble and quick. Industry leaders become targets for more agile newcomers, which is why the period of ascendancy is usually fairly short. (”Fairly short” is a relative term; decades are the correct unit of measurement.) But execution will also suffer if promotions and assignments are heavily influenced by woke criteria. The genderfluid, post-Marxist MOC (manager of color) finds itself/herself trying to manage a staff of smarter, more capable, more experienced people — at least some of whom might even be sensible politically and (God forbid!) be married with children, or at least aspiring to that state — who all know why they were passed over for the promotion. Of course execution suffers. That happens when the skilled workers don’t respect the boss.

I’m sure we can find a way to speed up the executions if that’s what they want.

Who has the “cartman liberal tears” meme?

Well when I say woke usually I mean those who appease and pay lip service to the Leftist agenda. The conditioned people. When I say Leftist I usually mean a conditioner...those who enforce the dehumanizing of those who dare disagree. Now sure there is overlap in some people...but for the large part what I saw at Google was most engineers tended toward the first kind. They would not be the kind to push Leftism..just not the kind to question it either.

I remember the old days when they said it was a no no to bring up, early in your job interview, how much vacation and PTO you get. Now these kids lead with that, then they ask for a raise after you tell them the starting salary.

I find it surprising because the Googleplex is supposed to be this great wonderland of a place to work with free food and other perks and yet employees are up in arms at the thought of going back to the office.

After two years working from home, facing the prospect of driving to work again with gas prices over $5/gal, you could offer Silicon Valley workers Shangri-La as a workplace and many would decline. I work in Silicon Valley but not for Google - I'm trying to get permanent remote-work designation and I'm part of a very large crowd doing that.

I don’t think the differentiation is there anymore.

I am not sure one can tell who are appeasers and who are believers. I would not be one to attempt to read other people’s minds but instead I rely on what they say and do.

And what they say and do makes them walking talking leftists.

And a danger.
