Edit: I'm guessing the string "levandowski" was used at least once in the code responsible for detecting this.
I’m no fan of google but if their ethicists are found doing unethical things they shouldn’t be immune to suspension just because they have the word ethics in their job title - they should be held to a higher standard not lower
That depends on the context. If Google is suppressing the content of the leaked documents in order to hide unethical behavior, then there is a double bind.
Ethics is not the same as corporate policy. Ethics needs openness to explore the, well, "ethics" of a particular conflict -- and it can only work on known facts, not speculation.
Further, some would say that to be ethical might mean exposing unethical behavior regardless if it violates corporate policy.
Seems to me like the 2-year stints are a big deterrent to joining a union.
All you have to do is ignore social causes for 18 months, after an additional 6 months being team selection and other unproductive stuff, and you have an okay probability of clearing $1,000,000 during a bull market?
What would have to change for employees to be able to meaningfully change Google? The incentives just are not there.
I have heard and read about a concept in Germany where a labor union is part of the board in large companies. That seems like a possible solution in America that nobody seems inspired enough to consider.
