Okay, more nuance: The shit this "Fellowship of Friends" actually does
- that's a cult. I guess wanted to say they're a clique of cult
members.
The cult is real. The clique is the group within Google (as opposed to
there being a cult within Google), I hope that distinction makes
sense.
I've seen this before. At the BBC. Everyone closed ranks around Jimmy
Savile and an organisation called PIE (paedophile information
exchange). You were literally told you couldn't say anything about it.
But AFAIK the rotten group was small, but powerful. Many, many more
decent people work at the BBC. As I'm sure applies to Google.
Edit:
I say this because the headline "Cult within Google" is misleading.
(I bloody hate Google and everything they stand for - but there's an
important distinction to be made)
