- KirinDave 15y agoNo, they don't. But things have a way of squeaking out anyways. For better or worse, Google bears the burden of being characterized as a geek Shangri-La; where justice and intelligence reign supreme and everyone gets richer. Is it fair? No. But Google's used that perception a lot in the past and their justifiably worried about losing that good reputation, given their increasing difficulties with retention and hiring. A scandal about 3rd class workers with untouchable status is the last thing Google needs right now. They should have handled this better.
- yanw 15y agoIt's hardly a scandal.
- dspeyer 15y agoI never meant to imply that they did. My point was that we don't know the story. For all we know, they could be super-top-secret humanoid robots that Google is developing!
