Comments on: Google Loses Another Exec – How Many Before Worry Sets In? http://www.centernetworks.com/google-executive-departure Web 2 and Social Media News and Reviews Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:50:56 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Scott Brooks http://www.centernetworks.com/google-executive-departure/comment-page-#comment-13443 Scott Brooks Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-13443 It is interesting topic and I think to some companies majors execs leaving does have a negative effect. In Google's case i don't really see the impact being that great. Lets think about this ....you have upwards of 16000 employees, the best and the brightest in the world. I am sure that there are loads of people that are just waiting chomping at the bit to jump in and fill that role. The people that fill these rolls will of course will not be carbon copies of their predecessors but will bring their own ideas and strategies. I just think that change at the top is a natural healthy thing. It is healthy for the whole tech ecosystem actually. As these bright stars from these mega corps move to smaller startups they either sink or swim with the fate of the venture .... but they bring alot of experience, contacts and ideas with them ..... feeding the ever churning stew of valley startups. As for people leaving Yahoo .... seems to be a steady exodus of people and I think they are leaving for very different reasons then those from Google. Looking for any life raft off of what many seem to describe as a sinking ship. Cheers Scott It is interesting topic and I think to some companies majors execs leaving does have a negative effect.

Yes, there will be those who want to be at the exec level so they will be fine with the departures. However those in middle-management and normal workers begin to worry first. Now maybe it's not the same at a solid earnings company like Google but I have seen it in some of the largest corporations before. Worry sets in when execs take golden parachutes. </p> <p> I do agree that Yahoo execs leaving and Google execs leaving mean different things. </p> Scott – I agree and disagree.

I do agree that Yahoo execs leaving and Google execs leaving mean different things.
