One vendor requires a leaky JRE 1.5 to run their configuration tool, originally written for Windows CE around 2007.
Mind you, most of these systems are meant to be used daily by the staff at ordinary grocery stores. People are complaining about Flash? I've got quite a few stories from doing integration work with refrigeration systems. ("Where there's smoke there's fire"?) It also goes in line with Google producing much less "world revolution" products and acquiring mass amounts of startups with new ideas. But they seem to have those as common threads among them. Lots of the "leaks" about Google have happened and almost every single one has mentioned office politics, retribution, witchhunts, and blacklists. We've all worked at companies (and often still do) where we can cite limitless examples of non-producers easily passing HR, but bogging down the content creators by distracting them.
Which I would also hypothesis the majority of politics come from low-end producers (possibly to feel like they're contributing?). So I'd like to emphasis my one real point, as the proportion of # administration to content producers grows, the efficiency of a company drops as it gets bogged down in communication issues and "the usual" office politics. Lots of their "open" ideas work well on small and medium scales, but do they scale up?īut of course lots of that is more vague than I'd prefer in a comment. But while they're amazing in TECH, that doesn't mean they have equally amazing managers capable of stopping the stagnation and confusion that comes with large companies.
STOCKFOLIO 1.5 FULL
There's probably an existing term for it akin to the Peter Principle but I'm not aware of it.īasically, Google is an amazing company full of amazing people. I've seen studies that show that same problem as one of the reasons University costs have risen so much. I would hypothesis that as a company employees more and more "assistants" and "assistants of assistants" and the proportion of administration to engineering/research staff grows, a company bogs down with people who don't really contribute as much as they debate (or do nothing at all) in the company. but it GAINS far more in exchange, so that makes sense. Universities spend big money outside the college (Football, and grant money). If the majority of their money is coming from those banners, and not outsider backers, there is no excuse for them to spend so much outside their core technology. Till a few years ago they had (IIRC from last time I looked into their docs) like, only 2 or 3 full-time engineers in the entire company for a bulk of their growth until finally adding a bunch more-while adding plenty of other staff. They spend a tiny fraction on the one thing that matters: Hosting bandwidth and upgrading their platform where all of their content they provide comes for free. The majority of their spending is on management, and "soft jobs" like "PR" and public events. Pretty much like every other big company that recently became big.įor a smaller (but worse affected) example, look at Wikipedia. Google's issues these days are management and culture, not a lack of talent.
