Google Layoffs in the Thousands with More to Come This Week

I think I need a source for 'young idealistic guys'. What about Vint Cerf? Senior management? Stanford kids with dollars in their eyes?

I'm mostly talking about the lower level code monkeys. And sure someone can have dollar signs in his eyes, but still leak some information anonymously if they think its something unethical

Good point about the lower-level guys, but I'm not sure if that's the majority. As for the leaking, they won't leak if it means jail time or fines, I think, even if the $$ are huge.

yeah, you're right. no way developers are in the majority at google, it's 90% management spread out into 25 layers.

Seriously, if something was really wrong at Google you would hear about it. It doesn't take much to leak information anonymously and the chances of getting caught are virtually zero.
