As a googler, I say good. People like her have made going to work exhausting. Leave your politics at home and let me do my job in peace.

I was amazed there was even a Resist@Google group within Google. I’m okay with people protesting the companies actions but Google seemed to be internally supporting protests on company time and property. Which has pitted employees against each other across political lines.

I don’t see why Google cant just keep it apolitical in the work environment while being open to critiques externally and not caring what their employees do politically in their spare time.

"Apolitical" means no speech or actions to change the status quo. That is fine if and only if the status quo is fine.

I just said the company should be open to external critique. Which the employees should be free to engage in their spare time...

Because you're paid by Google...to work at Google? And other employees shouldn't have to be fed your politics constantly just because they have to show up at work every day just like you do.

Employees sign non-moonlighting agreements that makes the employer own all their work related ideas. It would be a violation of contract to withhold those ideas.
