I have to wonder what morale is like among the engineers who go to work each morning knowing that they now program the algorithm to benefit the company's bottom line, and the wonderful search engine that Google once was has been reduced to what it is today.

I have heard morale is pretty bad, but not for that exact reason, per se. Search is having some MAJOR internal problems.

Things are very bad in the trenches, a significant number of people are looking to jump ship....or so goes the rumor around the campfire.

Take what I just said as a wild, unsubstantiated rumor, as I cannot validate my comments for obvious reasons.
