Work at Google. They seem to have many thousands of people who do very little. Just look at their product quality. The atrocious performance of their Gmail spam filtering for example. It catches emails sent by Google itself, from Google, to people who have signed up with Google for the emails, and dumps them in the junk folder as gmail spam. Think about how bad that is. They’ve had 20 years to fix this. That’s just one example.

Clearly Google is the kind of place for a person like you.



Yep. Google likes to think they hire the best and do a lot yet they can't maintain or launch products beyond gmail, maps, and meet/chat, and that last one sucks big time. Its seriously like no one at google knows what they are doing or actually does any work at all.
