> Google needs a damn union just to get some reason in the building.
The problem is not mainly with how Google treats their employees (though there's definitely something wrong there), but with how they treat their customers.
- lowiqengineer 6y agoIts true - they believe themselves to be so damn smart they behave with rank condescension towards everyone else as the "top 1% of intelligence".

- monadic2 6y agoI was referring to the use of a union to give employees say about the products they make. They provide collective leverage far more broadly than in the negotiation of work conditions and compensation and can negotiate directly with the board, who would normally go to great lengths to avoid speaking to their own employees (in my experience). Hell, I’ve met more investors footing my salary than board members per se, and they definitely have zero interest in employee negotiations—that’s what management is for.
