Open Letter to Noam Bardin

  • > Rendered completely impotent by sane compensation models that do not allow him to bully employees, working for a corporation with a management ethos that does not view people as slave labor, and with no outlet for his egomaniacal urges for control over people - all the while his product (Waze) flails behind the flagship one (Google Maps) - Mr. Bardin has no recourse but to start complaining about the various amenities and complementary services Google employees enjoy

    This isn't remotely constructive.

  • This just reads like a teardown of another person. As a reader, I come away with very little. There is the faint hint of a defense of Google's processes against Noam's criticism, but no real defense is ever made. The entire counterargument is: Noam thinks aspect X of Google is bad, but Noam is a stinky doodoo head, so let's not take his thoughts too seriously here.

    I'd ask you to consider whether it was a good use of your time to write this. It certainly was not a good use of my time to read it, but maybe this comment will make up for my mistake. I say this as someone who is sympathetic to the idea that many executives spend too much time huffing their own gases.

  • That's just disgusting. That person is fearing to say their name, but to attack Bardin they are starting no less than attacking a whole culture implying that behaviour of a man could be fully explained by the culture he (probably - I don't know and care) is a part of. Meh...

    > Would you want to work for Noam Bardin?

    I would. Actually I was just a few clicks to away to write him a message about that.

  • > Would you want to work for Noam Bardin? Personally, I'm disappointed to be sharing the planet with him.

    Huh, maybe move to Mars and establish a just society.
