I think they got rid of that slogan when the company wasn't even worth many billion

It legitimately was for them, if you're being serious.

Unfortunately, you make a publicly traded company, and it will always act like a publicly traded company, in the end. No pithy saying in the code of conduct will change that. It's like how every dictatorship tends to become a monarchy.

Yeah, idk for sure about leadership, but a lot of googlers really did.

There’s a bunch of stories about employees pushing back and trying to organize. Some successful. But that old guard has been moving on or being pushed out for a long time now.

That's because the people did and accidentally bumping up against the leadership makes me I doubt that they ever gave AF

Stock pricing is not actual money if that is what this post is referencing in the first trillion dollars part.

Income production makes value primarily. None of these tech parasites are even close to meeting the around 12-1 income to price ratio.

They will get bailed out when the market falls too, which is why the prices are unreasonably high, investors know those companies have leverage to force the feds to bail them out.
