Google has now an CEO who is outsourcing everything to cut costs.

Google already had a quality problems before due to culture of zero support and dropping projects after their managers' got promoted, but now they have a problem with keeping up to any standards.

That's how it works when you offshore everything - where the main criteria is price and nobody cares about quality at all. They could offshore to mid cost countries, but they offshore to cheapest bidders.




Well, Alphabet has had falling profit margins for sometime. I thought their reorg was stupid since the company’s profits all came from ads on Google’s web services. Rather than reorg, I would have just canceled the unprofitable bits.

As for sending stuff offshore, they should seriously rid themselves of this products/services instead. They need to cut costs, headcount, and company complexity. They need to focus on their core product before they die: search and ads.
