This is inaccurate in a very ironic way. Not only are individuals specifically guaranteed the right to organize and discuss conditions/etc of work via company email [1], but this is a right that Google has been actively lobbying to rescind following the recent walkout that was organized largely by company email. [2] This right was specifically clarified/ensured by the NLRB in 2014.

- kevingadd 8y agoI'm not talking about rights, i'm talking about functionally not being able to do it. There's no way for them to send everyone a petition or poll or open letter. It's why I've never seen them. I would've had to be on those mailing lists.
- rjf72 8y agoYes you are talking about rights. You just said said literally, "there's no allowed way [for employees to organize]". This is obviously wrong. So now you're backpedaling and changing your story to it's technically impossible for employees to widely organize. So just to clarify you're now stating both that you were working at Google during the time this event occurred and that there are absolutely no means of internal group communication, such as newsgroups, etc?
