Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt , who has since be active on to greener and perhapsmore life-threatening pastures , state an audience of Stanford students lately that “ Google decided that employment - life balance and going home early and working from home was more important than winning . ” apparently this red-hot take was not for wider consumption , as Stanford — which posted the video this workweek on YouTube — today made the picture of the event private .
It would not be surprising if it was at the behest of the talent . “ I misspoke about Google and their work hour , ” tell Schmidt in an emailed program line to TechCrunch . “ I regret my error . ”
Several news publications have alreadyrun headlinesabout the video , and 1.4 million peopleviewed a clipof Schmidt trashing Google ’s distant work practices on X.
At another point in time in the telecasting , Schmidt tells the interview to keep what he ’s assure them private , then act somewhat surprised when his interviewer points out cameras in the room . At another head , he narrate the consultation that AI startups can steal IP and engage sassy lawyer to make clean it up later on , once they ’ve created a successful product . presumptively , the former Google CEO did not make out the entire interview would be post online .
