Video of Eric Schmidt blaming remote work for Google’s woes mysteriously vanishes (techcrunch.com)

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, who has since moved on to greener and perhaps more dangerous pastures, told an audience of Stanford students recently that “Google decided that work-life balance and going home early and working from home was more important than winning.” Evidently this hot take was not for wider consumption, as Stanford — which posted the video this week on YouTube — today made the video of the event private.

and nobody in the Stanford audience had the balls to yell out "IT FUCKING IS" at him after he said it. Cowards and sycophants, all.

It's Stanford. Protests are to be had against middle America, not those who actually hold power, else you might not get the network effects the school all but promises

That's why people like ES only give talks at places like SU.

Sounds like someone should have been minding their no-no words!
