"You can say whatever you like inside the company, but never talk about it outside"
- cmrdporcupine 4y agoSomewhat fair, except that Google has historically been more tolerant of the "outside" leaks than many others. Just stop to imagine what would happen to the people involved if something like this were to leak from Apple. It's inconceivable to imagine them keeping their jobs. From what I have heard and seen from Apple, there is a veil of heavy internal secrecy that falls even between departments and projects. Zero tolerance for external leaks. That kind of thing was starting to creep into Google before I left, but on the whole that wasn't the culture there.
- TheCoelacanth 4y agoI mean, you're comparing them to Apple. I'm pretty sure the Illuminati are less secretive than Apple.
- renewiltord 4y agoWell yeah, because if I told my coworker to "kill all the Apaches" they will wisely figure out that it means web server processes while you guys will post shit like "There is some evidence that Google is trying to kill Sacheen Littlefeather and commit literal genocide while suppressing whistleblowers". So logically there's a dude who sits in between the raging unwashed and my pure genius whose job it is to transform my pearls of Platonic percipience into something consumable by the gut flora of the lay people. This is necessary because the lay people are ever so eager to find witches and burn them - this act mostly out of sheer pleasure than self-defence.
