For the first time, I feel driven to speak publicly, because our company is now powering state violence across the globe.

    She is still working there. Yeah, sure, maybe she is taking a risk now that her name is out there publicly criticizing, but this article is just for her to feel good about herself. “But look guys, I think Google sucks too, I am not bad like them. I just help them accomplish their goals and get paid for it 🙃”

      She could have said nothing and kept quiet like the thousands of other workers at Google, this could not only get her fired but maybe even blacklisted in the industry, that’s far more than you’ve ever done or will ever do to bring attention to this issue, so how about you keep that cynicism in check.

        Ohh nooo. Poor her with all the stock options she got while working there from basically their startup days. Whatever this poor damsel will do with 20+ years of experience working in one of the biggest tech companies in the world.

        I might not have the platform to bring attention to this issue, but hey, at least I don’t actively help them, do their work and then reap the benefits of all the evil they do anyways.

        Unlike her, my issues with Google does not end with the Israel issue. Google is evil regardless of this single issue.

      If all the people who disagreed left, there would be no chance of opposition
