I think the whole crux of the issue is that any one Googler wouldn't have enough oversight to answer.
Google is too complex of an organization, and the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. So issues become lost between CS, security, and accounting.
I've seen this from the other side. I've also seen it get mitigated by giving someone (customer service) ownership of the problem, and giving them enough organizational support to twist arms in other departments as needed.
- bradknowles 8y agoApproximately 42% of the 17 million left hands are unaware that any other hands of any sort exist, much less any of the 23 million right hands. About 71% of the 17 million right hands are not aware that any other hands exist, much less the 13 million gripping hands. See the problem here?
