Google Fires Blogger?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the lotsa-submissions-on-this-one dept.

Thomas Hawk writes "CNET is reporting that Mark Jen, a blogger whose candid comments about life on the job at Google sparked controversy last month, has left the company. CNET reports that it is not clear if he resigned or was fired but references a post at Google Blogoscoped where it was suggested that he may have been fired over his blog Ninetyninezeros. Given Google's push into the blogging space with their recent acquisition of Blogger it might be interesting to see how this shakes out."

    I never considered them a good company for the last 2+ years, especially since they floated. I heard they are f$@%ers. It reminds me of Atari. They start off loved by all. Then they grow and get swallowed up by all the shitters that care nothing for IT,, they're just trying to turn google into a cha-ching $$$ band wagon.

    I recently applied for a job with them but I will happily milk them for a few months and then fly off,
