Googler here. We've structured the company to extract rent rather than innovate. We hire outsiders who are supposed to help us "grow up". That means processes and staying in your lane. Managers actively discourage work on 20% projects, because we "have a business to run."
Leadership needs to allow us to build things again. And they need to also recognize that innovative ideas can originate outside of SV and NYC.
