elliot schrage
Facebook can have him
Commenter Facebookcanhavehim shares this thought on Google überflack Elliot Schrage's prospective departure for Facebook:It has nothing to do with Eric's philandering. It has everything to do with the fact that Elliot sucks and is being run out of the company. No idea he has held on so long considering how ineffective he has been. From the inside I can affirm his team hates him. The other executives see him as impotent, reckless, and self-promoting.

Yahoo finally wins one, beats Google's DoubleClick severance package
Commenter and steadfast Yahoo apologist MarktheMarketWatcher zings Google's skimpy severance package for laid-off DoubleClickers:Yahoo! has promised, at a minimum, a 4 month severance package to anyone who might be terminated in the event of a Microsoft takeover. So whose not evil, anyway?
Yes, congratulations, Yahoo. Your search revenues — no, your growth rate — no, your severance package outshines Google's. Of course, as my colleague Jordan Golson notes, "I bet if Google could give severance packages with Microsoft's money they'd be a lot more generous too." For inadvertent hilarity, MarktheMarketWatcher wins commenter of the day.

Wired writer flacks for Google
Wired.com editor Leander Kahney writes up received Google fictions peddled by the search engine's PR division as fact in this month's Wired magazine. Google's employee perks are a common topic in the press, but our readers tell us the reality is far from the earthly paradise Google sells to gullible journalists. Leander makes working at Google seem like heaven:And today, if Google hasn't made itself a Greenleaf-esque slave to its employees, it's at least a cruise director:

Ex-Googler vents: "Google recruiters are out of touch"
Former Google employee Hans Cardinal shared his view on 20 percent time and the working environment he experienced inside Google.Google recruiters are out of touch. This 20% project concept is a thing of the past yet they still promote it as if it exists. Recent survey (Googlegeist) shows that most people don't even have a 5% project since they're working overtime on their primary project. Nothing really innovative has come from within in the past few years. Most of the stuff is just maintenance.

Googler's complaint: Recruiters should lie more artfully
Commenter jordanly has harsh words about Google's hiring practices:Google works fiercely to woo extremely idealistic and passionate young innovators with long self-love ballads of all the avenues for creativity and self-management available in this paragon of Doing-It-For-the-Love-Of and Freedom-Of-Thought.

Google dresses up job listings for crappy jobs
In our "Googler's vent: working here sucks too" post, commenter tengallonhero does some venting of his own:To all the commenters saying "stfu and stop whining": the thing you're missing is the false advertising on Google's part. Google doesn't tell you when you're going through their intense and selective recruiting process that your job is going to be crap.

Brad Fitzpatrick coming unplugged at Google?
From the comments, a fresh rumor about Brad Fitzpatrick, the LiveJournal founder widely believed to be working on social networks at Google. The commenter, who claims to work at Google, says Fitzpatrick is actually working on free, ad-supported Wi-Fi. Curious, since Google's Wi-Fi projects have faced trouble recently. A deal with San Francisco for free Wi-Fi fell apart thanks to Google partner EarthLink's straitened finances. Why would a tech star like Fitzpatrick work on such a seemingly doomed project? With that caveat, the report on Fitzpatrick's new project, from googleyes, after the jump. More »
