Google's CEO is increasingly boxed in by regulators, critics, and employees
So what is this? A big PR piece so we'll feel all sorry for 'that poor Google CEO that's got such a tough job'?  (first paragraph, he talks about how he's "not good at multitasking", and some things are "difficult".)<p>At least, that's what I'm thinking after reading the article. it kinda makes sense, too, that Google is looking for a bit of a breather after this much coming against them.  Still, I think the stuff they're dealing with is pretty much what they asked for.<p>- ads next to "unseemly" youtube videos: this is their core business, and in every other place you buy ads it matters where those ads are placed and who sees them and in what context.  This problem is exactly what Google is expected to solve.<p>- gender inequality: this seems to come with the territory. every other CEO in the US, not to mention North America & Europe (etc.) is dealing with this too.<p>- staff protest about Trump immigration policy: the CEO was on their side. In his words, "the fight will continue."  He doesn't get to say this is a headache he's got to deal with when he takes that kind of approach.<p>- a big regulatory fine.  From what I've heard, it's almost impossible that Google wasn't rather careless in letting this happen.  'ask forgiveness, not permission' seems to be a mantra that Google follows, and this seems to be an instance where they're now asking forgiveness.<p>- and finally, Google is 'too big' and people are worried about its power.  "boo hoo, we were too successful."<p>[sources for everything are in the main article or linked from it]<p>Deal with it, Sundar Pichai.  You've got the same job every other CEO has got, and the same pressure.  Buck up.
