Regardless of what you think of Google's business practices, paying off insiders is absolutely not something that any of us should accept.

Regardless of what you think of Google's business practices, paying off insiders is absolutely not something that any of us should accept.
- anm89 5y agoPaying off an insider to get something done that actually needed to be done seems a hell of a lot less problematic than capriciously destroying someones livelihood with no justification at all as the parent indicates that Google did to them. There's nothing wrong with taking gobs of money to work at a huge corporation but at least be honest that they are terrible.
- post-it 5y agoYou misread, I think. > Later we learned their old agency paid off a Google insider to flag our client’s account resulting in suspension.

- anm89 5y agoYou are right. I thought someone else paid to get the account restored.
- burnished 5y agoTFA states that a google insider was paid by a competitor to suspend their account.

- zorpner 5y agoYou have already accepted it, by continuing to work for a company that does it (regularly -- this is hardly a unique story).
- rmbyrro 5y agoIf they quit a job anytime something happens contrary to what they believe, they'll will switch jobs every week. Every employer will have skeletons in the closet. Or out of the closet...
- jefftk 5y agoSorry, are you saying that it is common for people to bribe insiders to bypass policy and hurt their competitors? This is the first time I've heard a story like this.
- hluska 5y agoHey friend - you did something very good today. It was kind of you to offer your help. I hope you have a really good weekend...:)
- zorpner 5y agoYeah, you can even Google™ to find many other such stories.
- registeredcorn 5y agoIt's difficult to tell if you are being sarcastic or not.
- registeredcorn 5y agoTo the persons voting my comment into the dirt, I was being sincere. If you really have never heard of this type of thing occurring, then you are either willfully ignorant, or completely separated from the reality of how business is conducted with Google. I don't say this with malice, but with plain honesty. This is a fundamental part of how the interaction with Google works. To deny this so plainly can only make any sort of sense through sarcasm.
