Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Every tech company names their employees tbf and I think that's a cool way to promote culture. "Employee" feels impersonal and un-team like, it has this conotation of Employer-employee relationship which we all try to delude ourselves is not real lol
Frankly, you won’t get fair treatment unless you treat it like an employer-employee relationship; It reminds me of workplaces that say ‘we’re family’. I have personally found those kinds of workplaces to be some of the most exploitative, because they want you to feel like you owe them something when you honestly don’t.
In my opinion, companies intentionally use tactics like this to abstract away from that fact.
Yeah I probably agree with you
Having worked in some of these tech companies with company names, I've got to disagree. It's very cringy.
That doesn't make it any less cringy and manipulative.
It's actually a manipulative way to try to make employees think "we're all in this together" when in reality they're treated as completely disposable the moment a dollar of extra profit is available.
Which it SHOULD. Google isn't a team. It's a vehicle for turning labor and ads into corporate profits. Any company loyalty is as one-sided as that towards Donald Trump.
Well, duh!
Speak for yourself. Some of us try to avoid delusions and manipulative business practices rather than celebrate them.
Did someone hurt u or smt lmao
Yeah, the fat cats at the head of Google and other companies like them hurt us all. The difference is that I'm not falling for their gaslighting like you seem to be determined to.
Alright dude stew in your hate idk 💀
If you don't hate what the Google leadership does, you're not paying attention or you're willfully ignorant. I suspect that it's both in your case.
Tech employee here. No, they don't.
