As a manager at Google who was a manager at Microsoft, I've seen Google do plenty of evil.

Compared to Microsoft, where abusive managers are promptly fired or at least removed from managerial duties, Google hides the manager's poor review and shuffles them to a different group, allowing this person to terrorize a new group of unsuspecting employees.

Google is an arrogant company, and this conceitedness shows up in more ways than one. Specifically, in hiring, Google believes that its hiring process is the best in the industry and near perfect.

Therefore, if someone suffers low performance, Google believes it's simply because they aren't matched with the right group. Google proceeds to shuffle this low performer to a different group, and if that still doesn't work out, the process repeats.

If the low performer is an individual contributor, the situation is tolerable; When the individual is a manager, Google's stance allows this person to do tremendous damage to people they have power over.

Is allowing abusive managers to continue their supervisory role EVIL? I think so.
