These people got paid for their work, and in many if not most cases were able to benefit from their part in Google’s growth over their tenure via stock options. Why is it wrong to part ways after the relationship stops being mutually beneficial?
To be clear, it appears to be mutually beneficial still. It is just not as optimal as google would like it to be.
Flutter employees unlikely helped to make Google $2T company, since they do not participate directly or indirectly in main ecosystem/revenue streams.
Everyone at the company contributes. Some people are in roles where the kpis may be harder to measure or that just have more risk in general. However, it is that risk taking that helps the company grow.
I disagree with you. Some contribute, some make damage (for example bad engineers, managers, dysfunctional teams, dead products). Company is successful if impact from former is larger than from latter.
I agree with that point, some parts of a company can detract value or contribute negatively. For the teams affected recently, however, i think that would be hard to argue.
