Who is the “Google” that you say wanted the leftist culture?
Is it the shareholders? The majority of shareholder ownership in Google is held by wealthy non-employees, who probably didn’t want a leftist culture.
Is it the executives? Seeing as unionisation probably reduces their power and their pay, they probably didn’t want it.
Is it the rank-and-file engineers? These people tend to be left of centre, and the younger ones are likely quite socially progressive, but anti-capitalist? Not many. Seems wrong to generalise that they want a leftist culture.
- alacombe 6y ago"Leftist culture" is the only way to make any kind of money right now in the US, so of course Google want a "leftist culture" there. Is the rest of the world, it might be different, of course (eg. China).
