If your team, say on Gmail or Android, was to integrate Google+’s features then your team would be awarded a 1.5-3x multiplier on top of your yearly bonus. Your bonus was already something like 15% of your salary. Suddenly it makes sense why we can't use + to force a word in google searches anymore.
This is where the companies could do a better job with HR of making sure each employee fits well in their team and enjoys themselves, and if not, to relocate them to another team.
This is also a great lesson to learn for yourself: Don't stay on a shitty team, don't work for a failing product. Get out as soon as you can, transfer to another team, or even quit and leave the company if that's not possible.
Never write in anger. writing in sadness is ok, but writing in anger generally clouds the message. Some of this stuff is about how you work, and how others work. Its not about google, you could "feel" this way in almost any enterprise with more than 1 tier of management.
The writer seems unbalanced and I can't tell if he or the workplace is the problem, or both. The thing that cought my eye is that he was telling his boss his coworker was home hung over, becouse he worked while his grandma died instead of visiting her. Like, who is being inconsiderate here really?
This is really ungrateful. The author is not happy because he got to work on Google+ not chrome? Google+ for all it's short comings were business failures not tech or ux or design failure.

Absurd blog and no matter how muchi hate Google posts like these makes me realize how ungrateful some people can be.
The problem isn't the reassignment itself. It's the lack of communication.
Publicly criticizing people & companies you've worked with because you haven't seen eye to eye with them... Is this the sort of person you'd want to work with or hire to work for you? If it were a company that didn't pay you or were doing something unethical etc then fair enough - blow that whistle... but as far as I can see this is just someone with a chip on their shoulder and a bruised ego who can't move on.
Controversial opinion here. I know that exaggerating and complaining is a surefire way to get clicks, but it's hard to take the author's criticisms seriously when he complains about so many different things. Some as minor as the noogler orientation. Others as petty as putting down colleagues who haven't worked as designers before. Regarding the main event in question: I like that Google allows people to party in the…
When I was a recruiter for ibm I always made sure to check if the potential was an asshole or not before going ahead with tech. Talent can always be learned by those willing. Attitude is permanent.
