Wow, that's unfortunate too. Combined with your previous comments I have to assume that you were a long time googler. Can you tell us what it was like back in the day? I'm really curious how big companies change / devolve over time.

Wow, I'm surprised that google would work like that. Did they actually tell you that you'd get fired if you were in the bottom 5%? I assume you must have been there back in 2005/ 2006 to have seen someone who was an objective underperformer in Q4 2005 but was still allowed to work there. Maybe things have changed since then?
