That's the dodge that makes people angry. The left simply define whatever they personally care about politically/ideologically as fair game for the workplace because it affects other people (tautological), or they see themselves as in opposition to some sort of vague evil that they have to defend helpless colleagues from. So they impose radical ideology on everyone and if anyone objects, saying it's politics and they should keep it at home, they just claim either it's really not politics, or that it is but anyone who objects is evil and should be ashamed/cancelled for not being 100% on board.
I know a lot of ex-Googlers. They all got sick of this stuff and either left, or hate the firm but stay due to inertia. Over time more and more peel away. I don't know any who joined pre-2010 who still respect the company, and the reasons are always the same. They see it as having become a 1984 style Big Brother.
- jewayne 4y agoThe only thing they did wrong was fool you into believing that a private corporation can be a bastion for free expression. Sorry, that is what academia is for. Corporations are just organizational machines for making their shareholders money. I'm sorry you're just now learning this, so late in the game.
- origin_path 4y agoThat seems like a collection of clichés that have nothing to do with anything I wrote. I worked at Google for years. It wasn't like that for most of the time I was there. The problems are new. The Google I joined was committed to political neutrality, and it worked. Meanwhile their ever more extreme purity spirals are not actually making them more money as far as anyone can tell. Probably the latter. I don't think academia is any better, the culture that is messing up tech firms came out of academia.
