And they don't care who ultimately gets run over in that process...and to make money, people think they need lots of power...and you learned that at Google...and didn't like what you saw...

So well written, and such a good reason to move on. Oh god, I just re-read this to Tom, and now I’m crying. So well written, and such a good reason to move on.

I agree with the other comments that your approach has encouraged me to come up with my own list of values. These are difficult times, but this also a time of opportunity. Grab that brass ring! Good luck with this new phase of your life. Great blog posting, Anne! I agree with the other comments that your approach has encouraged me to come up with my own list of values.

I've had a few "I wouldn't forgive myself if I didn't try" moments recently, too - both in my personal life and in my career, and so far (*knocksonwood*) they've all turned out really, really great. I'm looking forward to hear what Life After Google (Can we abbreviate that as LAG? Why not?) holds in store for you. All the best, Alex Anne,

Looking forward to seeing what you end up working on. For what it's worth, I have no doubt you'll be able to hang on to your "naïveté" for quite a long time, so don't worry too much about that. The fact that you're thinking about it shows that it'll be serving you well for awhile. Congratulations, and good luck! Looking forward to seeing what you end up working on.
