I think the most important thing to learn in our adult lives is the power of introspection.
And the most important thing to unlearn is associating your performance to your sense of worth.

As someone who worked at Boeing long enough to see the beginning of the decadence, I have to say you are spot on.
Who knows whether shareholder primacy is net positive/negative overall. But as far as Boeing goes it has sapped all ethics, ambition, and common sense.

William Faulkner 1956 interview from the Paris Review.
"A writer needs three things, experience, observation, and imagination—any two of which, at times any of which—can supply the lack of the others."

Kelsey is one of the best people that worked at Google. Truly embodied the best of Google’s values. Very few people are as respected inside and outside the company as him.

Today I'm announcing my retirement from Google. Even the best rides come to an end. As I turn the page on this chapter, I realized I've spent the last 25 years learning how to work, I hope to spend the rest of my life learning how to live.

So far the only community app that didn't make me want to gouge my eyes out is Circle. Curious about Campfire.

Dancing is *dramatically* more effective than our best attempts at treating depression, pharmaceutical or not.
It clearly has *massive* psychological benefits.

My first sales quarter at Google, I had 30% attainment. Everyone else in my team had over 90%+.
I was distraught. It was my first quarter ever doing sales, and here I was performing abysmally. I had moved from Washington to California, and thought I was not going to last 6
Alright some very quick (assumptive) analysis:

Most of these companies didn’t need to make these cuts for business continuity. They chose to do it to preserve their share price. In the case of Google (my employer), high performers were laid off, so it wasn’t about trimming the fat. There were other ways to do this.
