This has not been true for years. My google ads account was blocked, I had several google engineer friends create internal tickets for my case, and none of it worked out.
- dylan604 4y agoSounds like you need better placed friends.
- jiggawatts 4y agoSounds like you would relish living in a communist dictatorship, where your position in society was determined by how highly placed your friends were.
- dylan604 4y agoNo, I just live in this reality. If the friends you have are not high enough on the food chain to get what you need done, then it's time to make friends in higher places.
- jiggawatts 4y ago… which makes you sound precisely like the people living in a communist dictatorship.
- epolanski 4y agoThat's not unique to dictatorships, and communist ones least of all.
- teddyh 4y agoHow friendly can people who work at Google really be?
- dylan604 4y agoSome of the most evil people have been super friendly. That's how they lure you in. It's kind of like The Firm. They lure you in with all of that glorious salary, all of those perks like free food, they let you work on projects that seem quite cool and almost decent at the beginning. Then, once you're accustomed to everything and are pretty locked in, they hit you with the shady stuff. So you kind of have to be friendly, otherwise, no new recruits would join up unless they were just sadists already.
- teddyh 4y agoThat’s just acting friendly, which is not what I meant. Maybe I should have written “helpful” instead of “friendly”.
- aaronchall 4y agoThere is plenty of anecdotal evidence in these threads about how friendly Googlers used to assist with these issues before management prevented it.
- teddyh 4y agoExactly. People who work at Google can’t be friendly, whether they want to or not.
