Here's a guy, who admittedly was doing something really dumb, but managed to get his entire company's email accounts suspended:

So someone does something stupid using a work GSuite email account, gets not just the entire company email suspended, but also any staff member's personal gmail accounts that were linked for password recovery for their work email accounts.
- kelnos 8y agoA follow-up post (https://www.reddit.com/r/google/comments/8l231x/google_banned_an_entire_company_gsuite_accounts/dzf8cuq/ https://www.reddit.com/r/google/comments/8l231x/google_banne...) seems to indicate that the post you've linked to is most likely a fake TIFU story.
- bigiain 8y agoYeah well, reddit, huh? On the other hand, that fact that it's not a story that is obviously dismissed as fake says volumes about many many people's shared experience with Google...
- MrEldritch 8y ago"Well, sure, it's fake, but the fact that I believed it sure says something anyway..." is the worst argument.
- bigiain 8y agoIt is, but it still has some meaning. There are some people who if you hear stories of them doing bad things you'll immediately say "Nope. Clearly not true. That's just not how that person behaves." Google _used_ to be one of those. At least in my head (and from the front page of HN this week, it seems for a lot of other people as well).
- Dylan16807 8y agoIt is. But if you replace "I" with "a lot of unbiased people" it picks up relevance. Google shutdown/support has been awful in many confirmed ways. And that's even if you're paying them...
