While that’s true an individual company might still elect not to do so.

However I think that the biggest difference is that Google employees have the luxury of saying that because from both a corporate and personal prespective they take zero risk.

Worst case Google let’s them go with a nice severance to avoid lawsuits and they’ll find another job by the end of the week.

Workers in a steel mill that might be lucky to even have a job don’t.
