Many many googlers constantly advocate their resentment to the company. The company gives more avenues for this than any other company in the world.

  That's fantastic-that employees feel they can express resentment without reprisal, however I'm left feeling that my question wasn't really answered-regarding the sentiment quoted and the context being discussed via the article linked. "I'm worried that if the rest of America knew what we were actually doing here they would literally come here and kill us..." This is a VERY specific and very interesting response to the goings on of your employer. My company frequently has feedback surveys prompted by HR for employee satisfaction, I still hear through back-channel mediums a lot of gripes and kvetches that were uttered over libations with the understanding that the discussion doesn't leave the bar. I'm inquiring how insulated individuals at Google are from even that level of 'resentment' born dialogue between colleagues and coworkers.

    I think you're still assuming it's less open than it is. There's a (well documented now) culture of what might be be described as direct and open insubordination when management does things that are not well liked. I think your question was answered, but you don't really believe it, because it's difficult to believe.

    Well, I'd say there's literally no barrier between employees that prevents 'resentment' born dialogue. In fact, there's an internal site which is specialized to accelerating that 'resentment'. (joke, but it's true)
