  • Google really is evil, claims ex-employee lawsuit

    God forbid anyone actual cares about anything except themselves.  I'm hoping the movement towards ethical Capitalism, which there's a fair bit of support for even at the investor level these days, gains some momentum from cases like this.
    People can care about what they want. People can do what they want. When they are in work, they need to do their job. If they don't like the company then leave and find one that aligns better w/their morals.

    Imagine that "doing what they want" is "doing the right thing".  When they're working doesn't mean forgetting who the hell you are.  Put another way: use the line that corporations use with you: it's just business.  But yes, you do your job by following the mandate that the company REQUIRED YOU TO SIGN OFF ON.  Google required it.  They signed it.  It was a condition of employment. And Google fired them for it.  That's the lawsuit.

    I feel bad for people who say that keeping your head down and going with the flow and not making waves is the right thing to do OR ELSE things will get really bad in the world.  HUH?  How does that actually make any kind of sense?  I applaud people doing the right thing.  People who make sacrifices in doing the right thing used to be applauded universally.  Now, it's people in the cheap seats who wouldn't ever step up that not only chirp about it, but try to make themselves the moral ones.

    Wow.  Imagine someone caring more about doing the right thing than caring about a job.  You must not know the high tech sector, because doing something like this absolutely would not tank someone's overall career.  It would more than likely just help filter their job search FOR them, eliminating companies they wouldn't want to work for anyway, and guide them to companies that would be a much better ethical fit.

  • Whistleblower casts doubt on Apple's claims that it doesn't silence employees

    What is with your obsession writing about her? It is kinda weird 

    Especially given you’ve never reported how she’s  pulled the same exact thing at previous companies 
    What’s YOURS?  Apple lied to the SEC. That’s news.

    These complainers don’t know how good they have it. Try working in Any other country or even Microsoft and see what happens 
    Whataboutism isn’t a valid argument.
