I'm not sure what org chart you looked at, but VP's make up less than 0.5% of the company.

To be clear, since I guess we're really drilling down on this: VP denotes senior management at Google? So Hixie's blog post wasn't really dumping on a random middle manager as cmdrporcupine (an ex-Googler, I think) suggested, which was the point of all this, but rather picking on a potential C-suite executive or something?

Yes, VP is senior management at Google. Statistically, middle management is L6 or L7 manager. VP is at least L10.

It's not quite picking on a potential c-suite executive, but it's close. She's two steps away from c-suite, in a company of >180k people.

Thanks for the context. That’s a lot of layers of management you’ve got there.
