Re:Search is on for Google workers leaking secrets on Saturday December 08, 2018 @09:57AM (#18635499)
My view on it it's Google has a vastly more open culture than any other place I've worked and some leaks contribute to making the culture more open but on the other hand there are people leaking pretty much everything and it's hard to have candid internal discussions when literally everything is being leaked. It's not like they all dislike leaks because management told them to, it actually has practical affect on internal discourse that are bad for the culture
Re:Google staff walk out over women's treatment on Thursday November 01, 2018 @11:38AM (#18354974)
They definitely have a process in place (they advertise their process a lot during orientation) but the demands I saw explicitly say they aren't good enough.
Yeah but the main complaint (i.e. the large exit package) was already changed a few years before this. To be clear I'm walking out for the protest but I don't really see this as a big fight against management, if I think that my managers are lying to me at every level and they don't take sexual assault them I should just leave the company. The thing is that while I don't agree with a lot of what they say they've generally been sincere with me in the past.
The thing is that my whole management chain is going to the protests and have said they are for it (and they also have been changing sexual harassment policies the last few years anyway). The protest has lost a lot of value because the people we ostensibly protest against are already there agreeing with us.
