Funnily enough, I was just designing a queue exactly this way, thanks for catching this. (chat GPT meanwhile was assuring me the approach was airtight)
The hierarchy is too strong. Subordinate Googlers cannot really challenge anyone in their leadership chain.
That leaves Siblings to challenge each other, which doesn't really happen either. (VPs either can't check other VPs, or don't give a f** about doing so)
They just take the money at this point, I don't blame the low rang employees too much. Google isn't what it used to be and is not inhabited by the same spirit of the early days, most of those employees are long gone, the culture has changed, etc...
