Dont get baited folks Those are companies hiring 100Ks of ppl, of course some of them are frustrated but it is not as relevant as news try to make it. I bet you could read 10s of posts like that monthly about MSFT 15 years ago What stock market taught me is that snarky comments under articles or reddit arent good future perf. predictor

How would you want it to evolve? It shows and sends emails good. The promotions and social tabs are nice but I’d probably rather those all just went to spam instead.
>How would you want it to evolve? It shows and sends emails good. Yahoo mail is better for me because it implements the use of tabs, making e-mail multitasking a breeze. Also Yahoo's UI is more compact and less wasteful of screen real estate and just feels snappier while Gmail feels sluggish even on modern machines. So yes, there's definitely room for Gmail to evolve beyond just barebones sending and receiving emails…
Of course they are boring. Non-boring means taking huge risk and chances. Something Google hasn't had to do for at least a decade. If you want interesting, join a startup. But you might end up without a job when they lose funding/run out of money.
Now looking for new work.
if the Google employees don't like their leaders, they can leave and setup themselves.
Is there any other type of management at big companies? I am yet to see a violation of the Peter Principle when it comes to middle to higher management.
You don't need to be a Google employee to know its products lack innovation from day 1. It's a one trick pony company, having just created search, rest is only buy/copy/steal. It's a company rotten to the core. It bought a few companies back then and helped scale it with capital (Android, YouTube...), also copied others, like there's a whole Netflix documentary about Google Maps. Don't come saying that Gmail was geni…
Search, Ads, Analytics, Gmail, Docs, Drive, Youtube, Maps, Android, Calendar.. All 10 are category defining (but at least top 3) products. I'd like to have a 1-trick pony like that one day!
YouTube was bought as well.
Android was bought as well.
Ads, YouTube and Android are valuable tech. Analytics, Gmail, Docs, Calendar are all shitty apps. Not in the sense that they're bad, just in the sense that there's nothing innovative about them.
Of everything that you mentioned in your list, the only ones that are genuine Google innovations are Search and Maps.

Even if Gmail was genius, it's almost 20 years old and hasn't really evolved that much since day 0.
It’s devolved actually. The ui used to be faster and more responsive (remember compact mode?).

In my life, this is the first positive thing I have ever read/heard about yahoo

"Ads" was bought (DoubleClick) and in fact I've seen it referred to as the best acquisition in the internet era, as measured by what they paid for it vs the revenue directly attributed to it. YouTube was bought as well. Android was bought as well. Ads, YouTube and Android are valuable tech. Analytics, Gmail, Docs, Calendar are all shitty apps.
