#12Dude was done with Google at around comic 280 and didn't notice for almost 100 more comics.

#13I'm not saying this with the intent of harshly criticizing the author, but I admit it's surprising to me that someone (who had other options) would work for 14 years at a company they clearly came to believe was making the world a worse place.

#16How has the author not been fired from Google for such snark? Their Github shows them still employed at the company. Props to this person.
Manu Cornet left Google earlier this month, but no one has any problem with snark like this. Not management, not HR and not every day Googlers. Some things can’t be said, mostly personal attacks, but the freedom to say critical things very snarkily is completely there and no one thinks anything about it. Compared to some things that are said and published internally, Goomics are quite tame.
To throw in a little bit more:
This freedom to criticize, and management support thereof is one of the reasons many people find Google a good place to work.

#17A lot of these comics are self-explanatory, but I'm curious about the story behind this one: https://goomics.net/308/

You should see the internal meme board, some of the criticism there is a lot stronger than these comics. If you fire everyone who's critical of the company, you'll only end up with yes-mans and the company will be ruined. As long as the criticism is constructive and legitimate, it's very welcome from my experience.

Google used to give away phones as part of the "holiday gift". Basically the suggestion is to give the phones away if they're not sold.

The only disappointing part of Google, for this former Apple aficionado, is how self-flagellating the internal and external culture are. (ex. we see other Googlers/ex-Googlers in this thread noting how funny these are)
Thank you for sharing that, I was uncertain if it was my own bias that was making me think similar things
