▍原文
Google might be among corporate America's favorite success stories, but some people aren't convinced Big Tech is operating efficiently.
According to one Silicon Valley insider, David Ulevitch, half the workers at the tech behemoth aren't even doing "real work."
Big Tech overhires talent and ensures they stay out of the hands of rivals. Some companies are retaining their bloated headcount with people who don't help drive the company forward.
