Last week, I observed repercussions from one of the most arrogant moves I’ve ever seen an executive make. A small uproar occurred when a Google product strategist learned there were fewer people than he’d expected at an event he’d volunteered to speak at. As he stormed out, he uttered the immortal words, “I Am Google,” to the event organizer — whom he apparently thought was a booth babe, which in itself is troubling. The incident prompted a massive Twitter firestorm with #IAMGOOGLE going viral, and his name is now synonymous with “jerk.”
