TheVerge posted some news about [Google Firing

|
|
Workers](https://www.theverge.com/2020/12/2/22047383/google-spied-workers-before-firing-labor-complaint)
|

|
based on information from a company they hired to spy their own workers.

I mean, that's nothing new: the "Do no evil" motto is long gone, and we see,
|
||
|
|
every day, Google threating their users like cattle for profit. But now we see
|
||
|
|
more and more news about Google trying to stop their own workers on getting a
|
||
|
|
proper working environment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sadly, this is not the only one: We knew something was wrong way long, when in
|
||
|
|
2018 a group of workers had to make a public walkout in protest to the way
|
||
|
|
Google were dealing with sexual misconduct and forced arbitration -- something
|
||
|
|
that made Andy Rubin, author of Android, being "fired" from the company. From
|
||
|
|
there, everything needs to find its way to the news, otherwise it just hid
|
||
|
|
under the hug.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The fact that Google is pushing to spying their own workers show how bad the
|
||
|
|
environment is there.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Before I go into a long rant about the continuous noticing of those events, I
|
||
|
|
need to make a request: STOP USING GOOGLE PRODUCTS. When you use, you are
|
||
|
|
basically telling them it's ok to continue doing it so.
