Here is my open letter to people working for Google:
Dear googlers:
Quit. You’ll make plenty elsewhere; just stop ruining the Internet please.
- aluminussoma 5y agoDon't quit! I'd rather have good, honest people working at Google, instead of them quitting Google. What would Google be like if no good people worked there?
- rflec028 5y agoIsn't this already the case?
- theandrewbailey 5y agoWithout good people, Google will be driven into the ground faster, and all of us can move on sooner.
- shadowgovt 5y agoThat's a very optimistic view of what happens to a company with a lot of technical power and solid procedure for maintaining it in place if all the people with a conscience leave. You are assuming a correlation between technical competency and moral competency that I've never observed history guarantees.
- ekianjo 5y ago> What would Google be like if no good people worked there? Can it get worse? Because it looks like whatever good guys are left don't have a voice anymore.
- mikewarot 5y ago>Can it get worse? Because it looks like whatever good guys are left don't have a voice anymore. Yikes... I can't believe you even typed that... inviting it to happen. It can always get worse. There's always whistle-blowing, which would stop if all the good people left.
- mensetmanusman 5y agoEven if everyone quit, they could hold the ship steady and hire anyone else in the world that wants to make millions of dollars, because we know consumer habits will not change. I could even imagine people wanting to work for Google to actively harm society as a form of Cold War. Because of this, it is probably better for people to stay and fight for good, but I might be wrong.
