Google, in Post-Obama Era, Aggressively Woos Republicans
This is probably going to be a hard problem for a lot of companies.  Spending quite a lot of money on Democrats and little on Republicans looked like a good strategy given the polling, but now they have to deal with a office holder that is not the least concerned with building bridges and has a bit of vengeful streak.<p>Not to mention all the contacts they have built up in the permanent staff might not be there as long as normal[1].  The typical <i>hire former government workers to lobby current government</i> might also be in danger if the President goes through with his anti-lobbyist rule changes.  This is actually a big deal for a lot of people, because these permanent employees are a lot of organization&#x27;s touchstones that cross administrations and party lines.<p>I would advice Google to have a small talk with their doodle team to not rock the boat this year.  That might be a signal on how aggressive they really are.<p>1) <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cnn.com&#x2F;2017&#x2F;01&#x2F;26&#x2F;politics&#x2F;top-state-department-officials-asked-to-leave-by-trump-administration&#x2F;index.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cnn.com&#x2F;2017&#x2F;01&#x2F;26&#x2F;politics&#x2F;top-state-department-...</a>
