Google & YouTube employees on HN: how do you justify still working at this company? Enough of the cognitive dissonance. Face your choices and tell me how you square yourself with them. For shame.

I guess the same as consultants working for McKinsey, or bankers working for Goldman

"Not my department / group / office"

"Just a few bad apples"

I mean yes, those are valid points - and I'd imagine most junior workers being there just for the future (career) opportunities.

No junior engineer at google is going to have any say in strategic and political decisions like censorship.

I wish that people who use the "a few bad apples" quote as a defense (especially when it comes to the police) would realize the full quote is "a few bad apples spoil the barrel."
