Thank you for your service.

That said, consider that leaving just means one less opponent for the other side.

I disagree. Let’s assume OP is talented, his talent can best be used for google’s competitors.

Meanwhile, Google is rotten at the executive layer. No amount of good people working for them will fix things.

From a purely linguistic point of view, doesn’t ‘content moderation’ imply a work slowdown? I would think any company would be against using anti-productivity language.

I think all companies realize they have a large amount of "sway" in the actual work that gets done, and things like TPS reports and content moderation get in even if they're a net productivity loss.

Once you stop thinking of companies as single entities and instead as large kingdoms containing many fiefdoms it starts making more sense.

You can see it even in this thread, there exist Lists and tools that can be used as weapons against other groups, even if sometimes they're not currently being used because they're not currently at war.

At these wealth levels it’s not about “productivity” anymore lol
