- NotSammyHagar 7y agomost software engineers are paid well. but they still have moral consideration. this does feel like retaliation.
- verall 7y agoThey are paid well, but Google (and other companies) have discovered that their workers are most productive not when they are mercenaries, but when they are "part of the family". Thus Google (and other companies) try to create an environment where if workers don't like something, they are encouraged to help steer the boat. Of course when this conflicts with actual business interests, everyone sees who is really holding the wheel. This can be jarring for workers so used to feeling "part of the team". This "they're paid well, so they should do their job or leave" idea misunderstands the culture these companies work to uphold. If Google wanted to hire mercs they certainly could, but in the past their values were the opposite of this. In the future, we'll see.
- Chinjut 7y agoYour position is that if your employer pays you a sufficient amount of money, you mustn't ever consider anything your employer does to be unethical to the point of pushing for them to stop doing it?
- SamReidHughes 7y agoNot at all, but don't be surprised if they'd rather not give you thousands of dollars each week for you to do so.
- AndrewBissell 7y agoIf Google wants to make "do everything we say or get fired" their policy, they should at least have the stones to come out and say it, instead of playing this off as some BS "data security" crackdown.
