>What am I missing? If Google can hand a $90 million dollar bonus payment to Andy Rubin after they investigate him for sexual assault on a subordinate and ask him to leave the company, they can afford to pay a few contract employees. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/25/technology/google-sexual-harassment-andy-rubin.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/25/technology/google-sexual-... Apple has continued to pay it's contract employees who aren't able to work under current conditions.

> Apple has continued to pay it's contract employees who aren't able to work under current conditions. So have Google, Facebook, Twitter: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/06/coronavirus-google-facebook-twitter-contractors-to-get-regular-pay.html https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/06/coronavirus-google-facebook-... Of course I still understand the frustration with the some thousand people who were denied jobs after they made it all the way through the funnel, but it's still not the same thing.

  Again, if Google can afford to hand a ninety million dollar bonus to a supervisor who they fire for sexually assaulting a subordinate, they can certainly afford to live up to the job offers they make to the little people. Or is this suddenly not about what's right, when we're talking about Google? Apple paying people for all the time they are required to be present for their shift is certainly what's right, even in districts where doing so has not yet been legally mandated, correct?

    You said: > Apple has continued to pay it's contract employees who aren't able to work under current conditions. This implies that Google is not doing so, which is untrue. Please stop trying to change the subject.

      Given that I linked to articles describing the exact behavior I am criticizing (screwing over people in a global pandemic after offering them a job, and paying a ninety million dollar bonus to a high level executive when he is being fired for sexually assaulting a subordinate) I'm not implying anything. I'm criticizing specific behaviors that I find to be more in line with the notion of "cardboard cutout evil capitalists".
