The pseudo-moral judgement on Google's relations with its employees is out of place. Google provides certain benefits to its employees, not out of the kindness

The pseudo-moral judgement on Google's relations with its employees is out of place.
Google provides certain benefits to its employees, not out of the kindness of its heart or out of moral consideration, but because business analysis has determined it's in Google's own benefit to do so. To make itself more attractive, build up a prestigious brand as an employer, keep people working longer hours, etc.
The moment they determine it's no longer in their interest to provide you with these benefits - they'll fire you.
So let's stop pretending one party or the other here is acting on some moral basis. This is just business.
- lhorie 5y agoFor the record, I didn't mean to imply any sort of moral judgment about Google itself, I was merely relating facts about Google perks and reports of how some employees reacted to them. The point, in fact, is mostly about the employees, who have often been characterized as out-of-touch with the workings of the world outside Google.
