Alphabet dropped “don’t be evil” from its moto in 2015. This guy went in knowing how the sausage was being made.

they did not. it’s still right there in the code of conduct

"But the motto was on display..."

"Yes, it was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'."

[watwut]

That is not corporate motto.

[john_strinlai]

the motto was always a part of the code of conduct (it was the preface), it just moved from google's to alphabet's when it became a subsidiary.

Motto's, slogans, mission statements...

All of these things are 100% bullshit and always have been. It's tragic that Google actually had people believing them when they championed "don't be evil".

The slogan originated in Eng, and was honest at the time, and for many years after.

It obviously got promoted by marketing for external consumption as well.

Maybe they should not have joined the company in the first place if they had "morals" or "principles". Yet they still joined in 2017 even after knowing that slogan was removed anyway.

Company mottos, principles, slogans and values are all fake fronts to lure in these sort of people alongside the free food with the carrots on those sticks.

Once that all runs out or the company goes south and stops being a daycare, then they start doing silly virtue signalling posts like this.

Now you are seeing who was there for the 'good vibes', free food, rest n' vest and who was there to keep the company alive.

...And finally we know that this is a love letter to get themselves hired at Anthropic. I think you might need more than that honestly.
