- pmoriarty 7y ago"Disclaimer: I'm a googler, my options are my own, I am not connected to the AMP project." Nice Freudian slip which points to one important reason why some Googlers won't criticize their own company's behavior.
- mattnewton 7y agoI mean, it's a good quip, but it's autocorrect, and we don't get stock options we get restricted stock units :P One of the reasons why I work at Google is, as a former web developer I didn't feel AMP was a problem. I did feel MAVEN was a problem, despite what that could do for my stocks. I get the criticism and do think AMP has a lot of problems, but I also think it's crazy that's what we are talking about in an article about oil and gas activism. /Shrug
- pmoriarty 7y agoDo you feel all the tracking Google does of people is a problem? What about manipulating people through advertising?
- davidcbc 7y agoIf Googlers weren't criticizing their own company's behavior there wouldn't be news stories every week about the new thing Googlers are criticizing Google about. I find that Googlers as a whole are way more willing to criticize Google (both publicly and internally) than employees any other company I've worked for.
