+ - James Whittaker on Why He Left Google 1

Submitted by theodp
theodp writes "In June 2009, Google welcomed James Whittaker as its newest Test Director. In February 2012, Whittaker rejoined Microsoft. On Tuesday, Whittaker explained Why I Left Google. 'The Google I was passionate about,' Whittaker writes, 'was a technology company that empowered its employees to innovate. The Google I left was an advertising company with a single corporate-mandated focus...The old Google was a great place to work. The new one? -1.' Welcome to the real world, quips CNET's Charles Cooper in response to Whittaker's still-awesome-even-if-a-tad-naive rant."

  • Wow !

    This guy left Google to re-join M$

    To show his (re-)new found loyalty to M$, he wrote in his piece "Why I left Google", in which he lambastes Google with descriptions such as "whirlwind of desperation", "Google has always been an advertising company", and so on

    So, I ask you, Mr. james "Brown Nose" Whittaker, how fun is M$ ?

    Just what kind of inspiration M$ is offering you?

Don't abandon hope. Your Captain Midnight decoder ring arrives tomorrow.
