I think this is a perfect case of "drinking too much of the kool aid". Google hasn't been nice and fuzzy for a long time now, and anyone working there thinking the organization is going to change "for the better", is a fool. It's the nature of the beast, as companies grow, things change and mature. If you want to work at a growing, caring company and not a behemoth, change companies. I've never understood arguing and fighting with your employer, it's their game, their field and their ball.

“maturing” and behaving unethically and breaking laws are not synonymous. Google, for a long time, did things in nonstandard, intelligent, innovative ways. That time is gone, but it wasn’t a foregone conclusion that that time would end on a schedule. Also, most employers, Google included, are nothing without their staff: it is decidedly not “their field and their ball”. Organizing is important and powerful, and that’s why it’s supposedly protected.
