Been at Google for over six years, and I've never seen so many good people leave in such a short time. Just a few months ago, my team lost two solid SWE IIs who were both great contributors. One left for a startup - said the constant reorgs and unclear career paths were major factors. The other moved to a competitor, citing better work-life balance as a reason. It feels like the stability we used to have is gone, and it's affecting morale. I've talked to colleagues who feel the same, but it's hard to pinpoint if it's the toxic management vibe or just the overall stress of constant changes that's driving this. People feel like they're not valued, and the lack of clarity around promotions doesn't help. We need to talk about how to address this before it spirals further, especially with the new Gemini launch coming up. tl;dr: high attrition rates are hurting team morale and stability.
