To clarify that, the general thrust is to unify everything onto G+, eventually. Should be fairly obvious and I inferred as much even before I joined Google. Good luck with that. I fear the day when my Apps domain is forcefully migrated to H

Breach of a nondisclosure is breaking a contract. Civil tort. Lawsuit. And so on.

You are correct. Your mentor from your new team comes to collect you after orientation, and you find out then. You are also going nowhere for a long, long time.

I'm toeing the water here anonymously, if it's not obvious, and have thought of that precise thing. Perhaps a mailing list or advocacy group of engineers with problematic backgrounds, and assistance to companies that don't de

Sourcers are under a lot of pressure, and I've noticed it not limited to Google. Rackspace set up a flight to San Antonio for me then cancelled it the evening before after their lawyers waved them off me due to my background (discussed

Thank you.

That's my thoughts, as well, particularly with California's architecture of at-will employment and the language that Google inserts into their offers. It's just not worth it, and they know that, which is why they treated me l

I am requesting this with the companies currently courting me for employment, and have made clear what happened at Google to each of them. I have found other companies' recruiters to be extremely sympathetic and willing to adopt a nont

No, you are a full-time employee from day one. I received neither, and no, I was not offered any severance, concession, or consideration, though I asked.

No, there isn't. Convicts are one of the last remaining class of people not protected by law. Every time any effort begins to make convicted folks a protected class, it makes politicians appear weak on crime and is quickly silenced.

No, I have irons in the fire. I won't deny that it got me down, and I know that's coming across. Thank you for the support, I really appreciate it.

I signed a nondisclosure agreement and upholding it is part of my demonstration of integrity. I would never go back on an agreement that I signed, and were the legal framework not in place anyway, I'm not a "fuck me? Well fuck you

I asked the HR Manager point blank if Google made a mistake here, waiting two months to act upon information available to them before they extended me an offer. She countered that I was the one who had made the mistake in 2007. I served my

I'm flattered. Thank you.

I appreciate your thoughts and haven't taken them lightly. That's the thing, is this stupid college mistake on my record undermines my integrity. Never mind that I've been employed at multiple companies and been trusted with

And blacklist myself entirely from this career? This throwaway comment is pushing it already in terms of burning bridges, not to mention getting fired from Google itself after my extended network congratulated me on the position. Who, in th

Ding! Google hires more people every week than were employed in total at the Series D startup I worked at before them.

Criminal, and that is the extent that I will follow up. I will also reiterate "minor".

It's not any better if you get hired. Google recruiters will tell you whatever you want to hear, including things that are not necessarily true. I was assured that a minor issue in my background would not be an issue multiple times (I
