"Don't Be Evil: Bad Bosses Fake Promises and My Escape from Big Tech – A Biting Memoir of Twelve Years Inside Google" by Claire Stapleton. My rating: 5 out of 5 stars. Published August 4, 2026.

Book description: A timely memoir about one worker’s 12 years at Google and her journey from buying in to buying out, and being radicalized in a sea of false promises, fake work, and bad bosses. This book is a candid look at what it means to find a sense of identity and power beyond our jobs, in a culture that tells us our career is who we are.

I read this book hoping to find at least some redemption and the world of big tech. It is a great read, and, if you read it, perhaps you will find qualities in big tech that I haven't.
