This dude needs a new speech writer.
How about we go further and just state what everyone (other than Wall St) thinks: Google needs a new CEO.
One more interested in Google's supposed mission ("to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful"), than in Google's stock price.
"The shareholders are too well-represented" is one of the complaints least likely to be acted on, second only to "I'm getting old."
At least the second one is very easy to act upon.
Sure, anti-capitalist-impulse Me 100% agrees.
It's just doubly icky in the context of Google's original "letter to shareholders": https://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/29/business/letter-from-the-... ("Google is not a conventional company. We do not intend to become one")
Haha that’s a great find. Google may be one of the most conventional companies out there now.

Kinda like kids who claimed to become Rocket scientists when grow up. But now flipping burgers at McDonald's. Big liars living among us.

CEOs rarely get replaced, they need to do something very very very bad for this to happen.
It's a publicly-traded company. Wall Street's basically the whole ball game.
I don’t know. Maybe a couple of months ago I would have agreed but Google is back baby.
