Has Google Lost Its Mojo?
CWmike writes "Google looks as if it's on top of the world right now, holding an ever-increasing lion's share of the search market. So why do I think it's lost its mojo? Let's start with the way it treats its employees, writes Preston Gralla. Another example: Google employees, such as Sergey Solyanik, have started deserting the company. And its share price is down double that of the Dow or Nasdaq since November 2007. Even if Google has lost its mojo, why should you care? It won't make your searches any less effective, will it? Nope. But Google has its eyes on bigger things than search, notably your IT department. It's looking to displace Microsoft with hosted services like Google Apps, Gmail and Google Docs. Solyanik warns that Google's engineers care more about the 'coolness' of a service than about the service's effectiveness." Of course Google employees version of being mistreated is often laughable, and quite a shock when they look for their massage therapist at wherever they end up next.
"Because, as we all know it is impossible to raise children if one of the parents doesn't stay at home."
You're being sarcastic. I can tell (from some of the pixels and from having seen quite a few sarcastic comments).
But the fact is kids without parents (who actually do some PARENTING) are a plague upon society.
We all hate your ill-mannered, sniveling, disease-spreading, obnoxious, crying, tax-sucking, prison-destined, fatherless brats.
Don't have kids you can't afford to raise - in terms of time, money, and effort. Don't have kids without also having a^H THE father. Don't put the responsibility of raising your kids on someone else. Don't let the government tell you not to spank your kids. Don't turn them into obese fucks at the age of 6. Don't let them run around like hoodlums - they'll become hoodlums. Don't buy them an XBOX. Don't let them on the internet. Don't burden society with your spawn. Be mindful of the indirect ways you and your spawn burden society. Have FEWER children.
But keep having some kids - I'll need their organs later.
(Not directed at you, but everyone in general.)
How about you get your fucking hands out of my pockets and stop pretending what you want allows you to do so in order to assuage your guilt.
That way I'll have some investments left instead of having them forcibly seized because assholes like you think it's "good for society".
Your grasp of economics sucks,
D.
I was a special ed teacher in an urban school for 6 years. I'm fairly sure you were one of my students.
So when you say " you have not provided any value so far" you meant " you've done far more than most, including me, but because I'm a moron who can't refute you, I'll reply and make an ass of myself instead", right?
As to being able to take care of myself, do you have some kind of reading problem on top of your stunted emotional state? Or do you think those investments were for fun?
PS, please don't breed, I have no desire to support your entire family, and you having 23 chromosomes isn't a legitimate excuse.
Please shut the fuck up until you're not an idiot. NO EMPLOYER can require you to somethin illegal.
Make all the stupid excuse you like, you're just wrong, and if you're being pressured to do things you shouldn't be, it's because you're allowing it.
And retaliation is illegal too, so your attempt to pretend that retaliation is a deterrent fails as well.
See, in the real world, bullshit excuses like yours are exposed.
