It's almost definitely confirmation bias. Google/FAANG employee a lot of people, so as an absolute number, there are probably a lot of assholes and when you meet them you'll remember their employer. I doubt there's a significantly higher percentage of assholes at those companies compared to regular life/other large companies.

Slightly off topic, but happened this week. A Google employee commissioned my girlfriend on Reddit to draw two minions. Paid for the first one and then didn't for the second, it was literally $10 for someone that's making > 250k. It's also kinda funny that he paid with a PayPal account that's tied to his entire digital identity: github/linkedin/etc.

I'll definitely remember that the guy was from Google (ex-Amazon) and is/was an asshole.
