irrespective of any of that. Respect to the guy for standing on principle and removing himself from a technology project he found ethically inexcusable. I'm also a bit surprised more Googlers haven't followed suit.

- suyash 8y agoBig respect to him for standing up to this values. I'm sure the lure of money has probably kept other employees not leave the company.
- Apes 8y agoI feel Google has become a company you go to work at for the fat paycheck, and no one actually works there because the work is interesting or because they have any belief the company is going to change the world for the better.

- rifung 8y ago> no one actually works there because the work is interesting or because they have any belief the company is going to change the world for the better. At any company with 50,000+ employees most generalizations will be wrong. I find my work interesting. I fully admit that I don't have an expectations my job will make the world better even though it may in some small way because I don't believe that's what companies are for. I work to make a living like most people. I'd like to make the world a better place but I don't tie that to my job since sadly the incentives don't really align. Still I'd consider Google to be pretty good compared to other companies given how much they donate but I guess it's easy to donate when you make a lot of money.
