I published the full list of Google’s 2024 company goals that were recently shared internally in the last issue of Command Line:
1. Deliver the world’s most advanced, safe, and responsible AI.
2. Improve knowledge, learning, creativity, and productivity.
3. Build the most helpful personal computing platforms and devices.
4. Enable organizations and developers to innovate on Google Cloud.
5. Provide the world’s most trusted products and platforms.
6. Build a Google that’s extraordinary for Googlers and the world.
7. Improve company velocity, efficiency, and productivity, and deliver durable cost savings.
That last line, plus CEO Sundar Pichai’s warning to expect more “specific resource allocation decisions” (translation: layoffs), has a lot of employees on edge.
