Having a company culture where _everyone_ feels safe enough to speak up and being heard (instead of getting kicked out) is not democracy. It is smart and crucial, in my opinion.
I am surprised that critizing something at a company equals being a trouble maker to you.

- KUcxrAVrtI 7y agoGoogle is a stale big corp that has not innovated in a decade. Expecting it to listen to its workers, who are now a commodity, is at best naive. Listening to dissenting voices only matters to small companies who will die if they make a mistake. Google could spend 20 years doing nothing but mistakes and it will still have money in the bank.
