Also just the fact that once you hit 53,000 people, you can't really say "I didn't expect this from X company" as if the company is a single person whose character is automatically imbued into every employee.
- rdtsc 12y agoI say it vis-a-vis the public image that company is presenting. Google for years reaped the benefits, so to speak, from presenting themselves as ethically and morally a better entity than others. But now they also have to reap the criticism due to their perceived hypocrisy.

Based on her claims, he's an asshole, but if you pick 50k people from the general population, you're gonna get some assholes. I'd bet the majority of upset people are upset because of Google's response. The response of the company -- ending her career, likely managing her out, leaving Rod alone -- is what is correctly attributed to google.
