I do not believe that standing up to sexual harassment or other morally objectionable things as "dragging the company into the mud in the press". They are calling Google out on a multitude of shady business practices like any good employee would do. Keeping sexual harassment under wraps will just cause it to ferment inside the inner workings of the company and eventually it will boil over in an even larger scandal. It should be taken care of as soon as it comes up.
- prepend 8y agoI don’t think, I hope, that anyone thinks sexual harassment is petty. But there are different lines depending on lots of factors. For other issues, it’s realky variable as to what needs to “be taken care of as soon as it comes up.” The tough part is that so many people have so many topics they could focus on rather than build mission stuff. Are you ok with a decent chunk of the workforce forcing abortion restriction be taken care of because they are pro-life? Or anarchists demanding that no government be supported? Recent press has shown Google all over the place on topics of various importance. As an outsider, I’m not sure what is a priority for Google or what its values are that allow for firing sexual harassers, but not reporting privacy breaches. It seems to me that the CEO makes statements once the outrage gets loud enough.
