       Ask HN: People of FAANG, do your coworkers and mgmt read HN
       mentions of company?
        
       What do they make of it? Let's exclude open source and stuff posted
       on devblogs - as this is intended to land on HN anyway.  Like:
       people on HN often say Google results quality has deteriorated, is
       this brought up at the proverbial water cooler (WFH, I know) or
       all-hands?

       | In terms of what they "make of it", that's obviously situational,
       | but I've usually seen it approached constructively or as a
       | potentially novel/holistic source of insight.
