Why is Hohn dictating to Sundar and why is he listening to him? Shouldn’t Sundar know and decide whether Alphabet has enough employees or not?

Remember when a rich asshole got an itch to see the president of a university fired and just crawled up her ass until it happened? Sundar knows what someone with resources and a grudge can do to your career.

We don’t begrudge you your rectal fixation but if you could please avoid using the words “asshole” and “itch” in the same sentence that’d be appreciated. Apt though the comparison may be.

My itch subroutine is triggered if there is any arcing in the circuitry in my anal module. Just like any normal human who is also not a robot.

I think anybody with their finger on the pulse of the tech world could have seen this coming and it's a natural consequence of a decade of incredibly low interest rates vastly inflating the sizes and valuations of these companies past where they naturally should be

That is to say, any random person can tell the CEO of Google to cut back their headcount, but that doesn't mean that's why they did it
