    You seemed to have missed my comment about naivety. If you don’t expect to be taken advantage of, you’re naive, not unethical. Life has lots of lessons to teach you. If you do know Google is unethical and you choose to go there and you choose to rightfully respond to Google breaking the law, that’s unethical. It’s right, sure, but it’s unethical. You know you’re going to sue them. That shouldn’t be the basis for making an employment decision. Again, totally the right thing to do, just a very greedy approach to everything.

    As for your other comment, if money were the only factor in selecting a job, you would leave your job the second you were offered a cent more. If that’s how you work, that’s different from most other folks, who tend to consider a variety of factors. Changing jobs is a lot of work so there’s a minimum threshold. The company itself is also a huge factor that will change that threshold. What about a job that requires you to work 24/7?

        Wow, I wasn’t aware that every employer in the world actively discriminated as much as Google does. I had no idea because there’s zero news coverage that you have zero options. You should get the word out!

            Good luck with all your lawsuits. You must be really rich by now what with literally no allies and no employers ever trying to do the right thing. No wonder you support FAANG companies!

                FAANG? What is this, 2021? Lol Netflix.

                Well if you drop Netflix from the acronym it kinda becomes a slur.

                I’m just happy “MANGA” didn’t catch on. Japanese comics don’t deserve to ve associated with giant tech corps.
