Google and Personnel Management: Myth or Mess Up?

August 25, 2021

I am not sure if “Google’s Payments Team Is Seeing and Exodus of Executives and Employees” is spot on or wide of the mark. (This chunk of management memorabilia will cost you; the story is paywalled.) Google is an exemplary commercial enterprise: Profitable, profitable, profitable. Did I mention profitable? It follows that its approach to personnel management is top of the class. Summa cum laude territory.

From this write up I learned:

Dozens of employees have left Google’s payments team in recent
months.

And what about leaving with know how?

The stream of exits by top talent and recent reorg present another challenge for Google as it tries to get ahead in the digital payment space and launch a bank account integrated into Google Pay.

No problem. No myth, no mess up. Google has steady hands on the controls. What could be better preparation for taking on Amazon:

Under the watch of senior vice president Prabhakar Raghavan, Ready has made a bigger ecommerce push in an effort to take on Amazon, which has included partnerships with Shopify, Square and others.

Just so Googley. Management excellence in action.
