Why I'm Forced to Say Farewell: Google Management Has Lost Its Moral Compass
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
A long-time Google engineer quits, accusing management of abandoning its moral compass.
The article is a Google Doc titled "Leaving Google" by rmayrhofer. The document's body is inaccessible, consisting only of Google Docs UI elements, a sign-in prompt, and menu options. The title implies the author is a Google employee leaving due to perceived moral failings in management, but no specific facts, dates, or details are present in the extract.
What commenters are saying
Commenters are sharply divided. A dominant camp mocks the author as a hypocrite who cashed out RSUs before moralizing, with one calling it "performative crap." Others defend the stance, with a European commenter echoing that US Big Tech has become toxic. A few note Google's "don't be evil" motto was officially dropped in 2015, questioning why the author joined in 2017. One critic points to the irony of using a Google Doc to air the grievance.
