McDonald’s employees doing one task day-in, day-out and when they go out into the real world, they don’t have the skills and don’t make a good fit for many companies that require a well-rounded person – especially in the social media era where multi-tasking is a basic skill.

I think this is nonsence, especially as you are refering directly to the Gayglers, as if they cant work properly and effectively. And to make the post relative only to Gayglers it seems when they are 700 out of 20000 employers is targetting them in a biased and unfair way. Maybe you should re-evalute your comments Webguild or Intensedebate

I don't know if any of you will find this interesting, but since John Doerr sits on the board of Google, perhaps you might. I wonder if John Doerr wished to suppress my company's rankings on Google if he would be able to do so, and what else he might be able to do if he had a mind to. http://www.amazonsellercommunity.com/forums/threa...

Oracle and many other tech stocks went down this week. While there could be trouble at Google, I think it should be evidenced with a share price slide over a 6 month period instead of 6 hours. In fact, every business like this is challenged to maintain the excitement and growth. To bring in new employees and keep them excited when share prices are growing at normal rates. You can't get rich on stock options with an established mature company. And hey – is there really a strong climate today to get rich quick. Seems like a lot of people are just happy to have jobs and stable income.

As if often the case, many of these comments are either poorly-informed or disingenuous. To say that Google "just got lucky" at search begs the question, "what happened to the ones who didn't "get lucky"? Many were there ahead of Google, but ONLY Google got it right. That's not luck, that's insight, cleverness, and a lot of hard work. As for saying that Google is going down the tank because of a few self-serving and arrogant comments from competing CEOs, coupled with a bad day on Wall Street? I don't think so! I don't own any Google stock, but I don't plan on short-selling any either. I've been working around here for a long time, and trust me, newcomers, this was just another Day in the Valley.

"Google routinely boasts that they hire smart employees as if other companies are hiring dump [sic] employees."

Oh sweet irony!

WebGuild is the voice of the internet and we are echoing the voices that are being drown out. And no I am not short Google.

I went to a job interview at Google and I had to sign a non-disclosure agreement and my recruiter asked me not to post the questions on blogs. Any everyone I interviewed with was a moron. It is also like they wanted me to feel stupid to pay me a lower wage. I had 4 interviews by the time they called me for the 5th, I had found another job. Suddenly the tone changed. I went into the 5th interview and was told that it was the last interview. I did not like what I saw. Working like rats in cubicle from IKEA. I turned down the offer when they called. Another candidate who was not fortunate as I was ended up going to 8 interview with the same group of idiots. After all the job was not rocket science. It was simply to do site maintenance.

Down 5%? That's nothing. They IPO'd for $100/share, that's still a whopping gain for those from that time. Sounds like Google Bashing to me. Not that Google isn't a many-tentacled, eyed, and eared beast who seeks to know everything about everyone. I just don't see them crashing and burning any time soon.
