#22I think this disease is pretty prevalent in tech these days. It has become untenable. I can imagine lots of folks with FU money (presumably folks with the most experience) are considering retiring out of the rat race. I'm not at G but have seriously started to calculate what my number would be (sadly, nowhere close).
>> seriously started to calculate what my number would be It's about 5 million. You can live on part of the gains and keep rolling over the rest.
Five million will drive you un poco loco, my fine feathered friend.

#23A great quote and great book from Kierkegaard
Either/Or: A Fragment of Life by Søren Kierkegaard
My depression is the most faithful mistress I have ever known. No wonder then, That I return the love.

#24Google is well past the “good times” period and is now in survival wartime mode. Good times exposes the very weak folks when the company starts to fight for its own existence. I expect this to happen to all companies where the perks, free money, etc begin to disappear.
