A former Google employee said in a duet with Smith's video that he learned that working at Google was about"working smarter not harder."

"I started out my career working for startups doing a ton of real work and then I joined Google," Tony Aubé, who goes by the TikTok name @tony.aube, said."I was thinking this is a major league. This is where I'll do the most work in my life and I was so surprised to see that it was actually the opposite."

Aubé said on his LinkedIn that he worked at Google AI from 2019 to 2020 as a senior product designer. In his video, he said he was given work that he was supposed to finish in two weeks that only took him a couple of days. "I was told by my product manager that I was the fastest designer he had ever worked with at Google and other people told me I needed to pace myself because I will run out of work, which I did," Aubé said."Toward the end, I was working about 32 hours per week and I would spend about a full day every week working on personal projects because I finished everything else."
