Google cancels TGIF weekly all-hands meetings

Imagine saying this with a straight face when “Google and most SV companies” became literally the largest donors of neoliberal lobbying in the US during the last 10 years (also, Europe).

Your worldview skews very right if you say that. While I respect you and your opinion, the framing of Google being ‘far-left’ is absolutely out of touch with reality. Sure, Google management tries to have a position in the US culture war but in the end they still work heavily with law enforcement and military and work strongly to suppress worker’s rights.

The keyword there is "between".

Google is a trillion dollar company and donates to lots of political causes all over the spectrum. We're talking about the internal politics which are clearly left-wing.

Sorry how is suppressing your right to organize in the workplace not internal politics?

Worker rights and working with the military and police are not left-vs-right politics.

Ok. I see our definitions diverge too much for me to work on your assumptions.
