What do you mean like it or not (and I don't) the current president was elected so it is their government.
I doubt many expat H1B's from the subcontinent will have any qualms about military work.
- brown9-2 8y agoYou’re missing the point - which is that Google does business and has offices in many countries that are not America.
- walshemj 8y agoAnd that makes what difference? those offices are just their to support the main business or for tax reasons. Google wouldn't have all those people in Eire unless it was for tax and access to a cheap English speaking labour force. And if google local offices started to diverge from the US norm they would quickly have there senior mangers replaced - for example if a local google office faced a recognition ballot from a union.
- pofilat 8y agoThe USA employees are also there just to support the main business. So? Some offices only exist because an influential individual wanted to live in that location. Do you think Google is largely in Mountain View because they have a deep allegiance to Mountain View, or because that's where they can get lots of employees and (historically) cheap real estate?
- rmc 8y agoIt's "Ireland" not "Eire"
- gbear605 8y agoA significant fraction of Google employees don't live in America.
- rurounijones 8y agoI know at least one Iranian Google employee (Not in a US office). I haven't asked because it seems insensitive but given that their country could be on the receiving end of this technology I wonder what they think about Google's military tech and this statement.
