      1. I sure bet Google is not feeling so great about hiring PR people to write its story about being a highly ethical company, now that it isn't. elle.com/culture/tech/a30259355/google-walkout-organizer-claire-stapleton/

      Don't hire your comms people to build you a rep as highly ethical and then expect them to follow you into the dark side. If there's one thing I learned sales-side it's that effective PR people work because they believe in the cause. RossforMaine/1212711348670304256?s=19

    It's really worth noting how consistent the feeling 'I didn't change, Google did' is from ex-Google people.

      I really think the above tweet by RossforMaine has it right. I don't think Google was always intending to act this way, I think changes in the regulatory environment that push, sometimes force, cos to be more greedy have fundamentally changed how they act over the last 10 years.

        It isn't just 1 event, the change has been building, but if forced to pick a catalyst I'd say when we bailed out banks w/no real regulatory changes or requirements of them. It became clear the easiest way to get away w/unethical behavior was to be too big and rich to be punished.

          Something broke when big companies realized that they no longer had to risk failure, that government had decided to take on the job of subsidizing them as part of some elaborate economic control scheme, and we're living the results today.

            With a decline in antitrust regulatory behavior, we see the other consequence is that big companies just keep getting bigger, but by extractive methods, the money flows out of pockets, to the top, and god help the laborer who dares ask for their fair cut, or a voice in the co.

              Ironic that the bailouts and tax subsidies means that we live in what is basically a socialist society for only large corporate entities.

                Anyway, enjoy the moral hazard section of the Wikipedia article on 'too big to fail', where exists one of the few times Greenspan says something I agree with. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Too_big_to_fail
