“Decisions went from being made for the benefit of users, to the benefit of Google, to the benefit of whoever was making the decision,”
That’s a bar.

The googlers i know spend a lot more time than I’d expect on performance reviews. Not really on like… Doing shit. Just reviewing and selling what little is done to get that next pay bump.

These recent months it seems the reviewing and selling, the hype-mongering, is more about remaining employed than it is a pay bump.
It’s a sad state of affairs when the inexperienced code-olympiads you hire need to transition partially from devs-as-engineers to introverts-as-showmen. It’s like they hired apples, made them work like oranges, and now only keep the ones who can also be dolphins.

Haha good analogy. The “remaining employed” is a point i missed. Broad layoffs in my company would probably make me do the same i suppose.
