To this outsider, your question sounds like exactly the reason Google needs this sort of process. Even if an employee were working in an area that was theoretically competitive with something, an official determination by Google should trump theoretical arguments - providing valuable certainty to both sides.
- brlewis 14y agoI can understand the need for the process; I just don't understand how Google ever decides it's OK.
- cdibona 14y agoWe have a small group from code of conduct/conflicts, open source, android and folks who represent a few other strategic groups at Google and we simply requests one by one. Most of the time it isn't a problem and we grant the request. Getting everyone together regularly can be a bit more difficult, that's why it takes longer.
- DannyBee 14y agoWe actually decide it's okay the vast majority of the time. (I can't give you exact stats, but i really do mean "vast majority")
