> In large organizations, decisions get made in meetings you’re not invited to, using summaries you didn’t write, by people who have five minutes and twelve priorities. If no one can articulate your impact when you’re not in the room, your impact is effectively optional.

Very true in large organisations. But... in a company whose stated mission is to "organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful" ... this feels like a failure.

When a truly data driven company manages to quantify impact by more than the volume of hot air emitted :) then it's going to eat the world.

Perhaps it's for the best that nobody does that?
