I want to go meta here for a sec: Why does it seem like publications are tripping over each other to publish another article on complaints by Google employees? And why do I keep clicking on them? The complaints, by the way, are almost always about some decision made by people far above their pay grade. Are all Google employees expected to share in and guide all corporate decisions now? It's weird. I'm aware of zero companies that size, that do that.

Many of the Google protesters are close with tech reporters. They have a symbiotic relationship. Reporters want clicks. Protesters want attention. Protesters cause drama, tell reporters it's newsworthy, and both groups get what they want.
