In your theory, why do Googler’s feel extra entitled compared to other big tech employees?



I’m not sure. Could it be the stock riches? The near exclusive Ivy League hiring initially at least? The jars of candy everywhere and the onsite massages? Charlie Ayers as your chef (at least for a while)? Access to the inside track on news of The AI? Party 747? Or just surviving a famous interview process and having “Googler” be a sure annointment (inexplicably, now after we see the results) conferring status? Gosh I just can’t seem to put my finger on it.


There are no equivalent benefits at Facebook or Apple?


Are you asking if Apple and Facebook have benefits? Of course they do. Just not an equivalent package of so many amped-up ego-stroking elements, no. Those two are more of a walled garden and a fiefdom, respectively, where everyone is put in their place.
