I can tell you with a high level of confidence that this is a Google PR stunt. Google executives conjured up a protest to force their hand acting against the interests of the board of directors and shareholders. Without a forced hand, executives would have been sued by shareholders for breaching fiduciary duties and terminated from their positions. The former executives would also forfeit their compensation packages because of acting so "unreasonably".
Executives wanted to end forced arbitration because it was unethical. They agreed that compelled arbitration was wrong. At the same time, no one was justifiably willing to give up a hard-earned career of a lifetime. Capitalism is not gentle to those who defy it.
This protest reads like a Pepsi commercial. They should win an Oscar this Sunday.
- nullc 8y agoThis post was flagged. I thought it was interesting and civilly stated. It may well be baseless or untrue but I think the readers can take it for whatever its worth to them. If this change were 'orchestrated' to push through an ethical change that otherwise would have been hard to sell then I think that would also have been a laudable act just as well. Executives are also employees and should be free to collaborate with their colleagues for the benefit of all employees.
- gipp 8y agoI don't see how the theory outlined in your post makes it a "PR stunt". You're just saying they wanted to do the right thing but needed political cover to be able to get it done. If anything that makes them look better.
