“While Firing Thousands”

That’s not the original title just added by OP for drama. It’s an editorialized title.

“Alphabet CEO’s Pay Soars to $226 Million on Huge Stock Award”

It’s a Bloomberg article not the Guardian



> “While Firing Thousands”

While correcting for the mistake of inflated bloat from recruiting? Industry wide pattern is emerging useless hires.


And who would have been responsible for the inflated bloat?


If it were simply a correction for the recent hiring spree, then people with 10+ years of tenure on production-critical teams would not have been let go.


It seems more likely that they're playing the same wage suppression game they were back when they were fined $400mln for conspiring with Apple.

This is freeing up resources for stuff like this stock grant.
