Google is self-selecting to employ those people who are fine with the idea of Google recording everything they do. This does not bode well for the rest of us.
I submit that this is only one small tributary to their huge hiring flow, don't overstate the impact this small thing has on their overall culture.
Only the very stupid are fine with Google recording everything they do.
You’d be amazed by the amount of doublethink that even very smart people are capable of, and the extreme and convoluted arguments they give for their position.
Yeah, just look at everyone who works for Google. The company is fundamentally about centralizing all of the information in the world. By working for them you support that goal and everything it implies.
