If all the people who disagreed left, there would be no chance of opposition
Comment on I’ve Worked at Google for Decades. I’m Sickened by What It’s Doing.

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 🙃”

You can’t change things from the inside. A level 3 software developer isn’t changing what google is doing.
graff@lemm.ee 5 days ago
That may be true, but you know who has less influence than a level 3 software developer working at Google? Someone who doesn’t work at Google :)

No that’s too general a claim

The opposition comes from us, the consumers who refuse to use Google products.

As if working at Google is remotely close to participating in the fucking Holocaust.

Yes you’re right. One overtly murders people in gruesome fashion. The other, does it insidiously by destroying the social fabric of communities so mass corporations can swoop in and own everything, forcing you into a further existence of consumption or death. Enjoy working 16h a day under your corporate overlords.

I understand your point, but that was insensitive

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.
primemagnus@lemmy.ca 5 days ago
100% will get her fired. 100%. Not now as it’s too connectable to the post she made, but in 6 months, they’ll find a reason to can her that can’t be traced to this.
easily3667@lemmus.org 5 days ago
Well she’s been working their since 2005. So she doesn’t need the job. Or money. Or anything. She’s just there.
Maybe you’re the one who should keep the cynicism in check if you think people who have every they could ever have wanted and have benefited on the evil deeds of their employer to the tune of millions and millions of dollars wouldn’t speak out.

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 if this single issue.
