For the first time, I feel driven to speak publicly, because our company is now powering state violence across the globe.
So the author was fine with every other fucked up, privacy invading, monopolistic practice from Google, but it was a tenuous relationship with Israel that they can’t forgive?
As much I care about privacy and free market, I still consider war or genocide to be worse. Call me crazy 🤷♂️
i mean monopolistic and privacy invading versus associating with something that is slaughtering women and children in their own land, it’s not the same in my opinion.
She is still working there. Yeah, sure, maybe she is taking a risk now that her name is out there publicly criticizing, but this article is just for her to feel good about herself. “But look guys, I think Google sucks too, I am not bad like them. I just help them accomplish their goals and get paid for it 🙃”
She could have said nothing and kept quiet like the thousands of other workers at Google, this could not only get her fired but maybe even blacklisted in the industry, that’s far more than you’ve ever done or will ever do to bring attention to this issue, so how about you keep that cynicism in check.
Ohh nooo. Poor her with all the stock options she got while working there from basically their startup days. Whatever this poor damsel will do with 20+ years of experience working in one of the biggest tech companies in the world.
I might not have the platform to bring attention to this issue, but hey, at least I don’t actively help them, do their work and then reap the benefits of all the evil they do anyways.
Unlike her, my issues with Google does not end with the Israel issue. Google is evil regardless of this single issue.
If all the people who disagreed left, there would be no chance of opposition
The opposition comes from us, the consumers who refuse to use Google products.
Google is evil
I remember getting a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach when Google removed “Don’t be evil” from their Code of Conduct
Do they feel heartbreak over the millions of dollars in compensation and stock options they’ve collected in those decades? Easy to write piece like this and go back to your comfortable lifestyle and just feel the fuzzy feeling of speaking out about a bad guy.
Nothing is enough for guys that comment on the internet. Maybe they should post comments on lemmy. That’ll show the world.
Googlecide?
Ive been using Vivaldi for over 3 years and never been happier plus I don’t have any google account and degoogled my devices.
Google/Alphabet’s previous CEO and Chairman Eric Schmidt was best friends with Henry Kissinger.
For some reason I don’t find her sudden change of heart convincing. & I am happy to know that the rest of you feel the same.
Project Maven started in 2017. Stop making evil people famous and expecting something will change.
