Google is not small. Is too regulated to be scrappy. And is NOT a startup

It’s an ads monopoly. Working there is all about making money.

Yes it’s an ads monopoly with only 40% share at most and it’s competing with Amazon and Facebook.

There are gigantic corporations that are much more regulated than Google in Europe and they are able to run scrappy global operations.

This is not anything related to scrappiness. This is related to improving Google shareholders' returns. Its base capitalism in its most ugly form - hurting lower rank employees for the benefit of majority shareholders and upper management.
