I think the part that keeps being missed is that (according to Google) they then took this info and shared it outside the company. That's where the line was crossed. I may have a Dr appt on my work calendar because I trust my colleagues, but that doesn't mean that I want it sent externally.
- brandmeyer 7y agoSharing screenshots of the calendar contents outside the company is obviously problematic. But whether or not the initial calendar access itself is problematic is much less obvious in my opinion.
- malvosenior 7y agoI think it's all about intent (that's how I'd judge it as a manager anyway). Were people accessing their co-worker's calendars to help schedule a meeting or were they doing it to harass and coerce them? The former is obviously fine and the later is obviously a serious issue that someone should be fired for.
- rurp 7y agoHas Google actually claimed that these employees are the ones that leaked the information? The statements I've read, including the one above, do not explicitly say this. Rather, they say that some of the easily accessible information those employees looked at was leaked. Either Google has proof that it was the fired employees and are being weirdly vague about it, or they don't actually know that it was them. If it's the latter, that is extremely scummy on Google's part to heavily imply it was those employees without proof.
