            1. This is a *really* bad share card because the image text "can a nice guy be an effective leader?" is entirely irrelevant to the story, unsupported by the article and implies you have to be cruel to lead a company which is gross and bullshit and not even what the story is about...
              oh my god twitter doesn’t include alt text from images in their API

            One's mind automatically jumps to Betteridge's law, & that's bad enough, but because the article takes the position (by amplifying only his detractors) Pichai is a bad leader, it implies--been though the image is not in the story--that nice can't lead. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headlines#:~:text=Betteridge's%20law%20of%20headlines%20is,the%20principle%20is%20much%20older.
            OpenGraph image for en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headlines#:~:text=Betteridge's%20law%20of%20headlines%20is,the%20principle%20is%20much%20older

          This assumption is regressive, like something out of Mad Men. And the share card is especially dumb because the problem people state they have with Pichai is that: 1. He takes too long to make decisions. 2. He hasn't aggressively quashed labor and ethics complaints internally.

        And it also blames staff departures on him... instead of on what the real cause likely was: 'don't be evil' Google becoming an embarrassing villain in the press and in political circles... For very good reasons!

      So apparently you can't run a company if you're unwilling to bring in the Pinkertons to quash labor organization I guess? It's a meh article to begin with for these reasons, but that share card just is so unnecessary and bad.

    I'm assuming someone realized that, because the image is not in the story itself, but they forgot to remove the share card!
