> A group of Google programmers created a tool that allowed employees to choose to alert Walker with an automated email every time they opened any document at all, according to two people with knowledge of the matter. The deluge of notifications was meant as a protest to what they saw as Walker’s insistence on controlling the minutiae of their professional lives.
Wow. Just wow. The level of highschool-level unprofessionalism displayed here is shocking to me. Are these the people we have trusted all of our personal secrets with?
Seriously though: Is this something the ~2 billion people holding Google accounts need to think about?
Previously we sort of all trusted Google employees to be competent, smart and professional.
Should we still do that with these internal divisions becoming public?
Over the past few years I've taken to a habit to do the more personal searches about things about personal medical issues etc from a separate browser installation (with no Google cookies) using duckduckgo.com or bing.com. I just don't trust Google with new personal secrets any more.
This sort of malicious action needs to be nipped in the bud. Google's management failed to enforce normal workplace guidelines and created a culture where personal opinion and political warfare take precedence over making the business successful. Google remains strong just because of the coattails current employees are riding.
