The days of good faith, logical, respectful arguments is gone. Googlers (the ones on Memegen) have become a bunch of whining and bad faith actors.

Memegen is unbearably whiny now, but doesn't feel like it's because Google hires whiners. It feels more like valid employee feedback, accurately capturing valid worker sentiment toward shitty, randomizing leadership.

It can be both.

The cultural shift was basically overnight, after big decisions by leadership. Seems to point to the latter rather than the former.
