The Google Pay app is dead

Google often feels like a disorganized company with constantly shifting priorities, and a big reason behind that is the lack of top-down initiatives from the CEO. That means the real driving force behind most projects at Google are mid-level executives who show up with grand plans and then leave—either in disgrace or triumph—when those initial plans run their course.
Makes a lot of sense. There doesn't seem to be a unifying strategy behind anything google does. I also think theres a vicious circle going on here: google has a loyalty problem, which could be solved by long term thinking, usually done by loyal employees, but employees don't stick around long enough.

It isn't a problem with long term employees. The problem is that promotion at Google typically relies on developing new products. Long term employees aren't incentivized to improve existing products.

Oh that's interesting, I wasn't aware of this. Is it an unspoken policy? Or its an over reliance on "innovation first" pseudo-management?

I think it’s more like a pattern observed in many of the blog posts about the reasons ex-employees left Google after a while.

I think it was a mistake for Google to jump into AI last minute. I think they should of offered separate AI products and let growth happen naturally. Meanwhile Microsoft and OpenAI will shoot themselves in the foot.
Being a normal non AI focused company would of been a good look. They could simply have some basic AI tools that are actually useful.
