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.
That doesn’t make it any less cringy and manipulative.
a cool way to promote culture
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.
“Employee” feels impersonal and un-team like
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.
it has this conotation of Employer-employee relationship
Well, duh!
we all try to delude ourselves is not real lol
Speak for yourself. Some of us try to avoid delusions and manipulative business practices rather than celebrate them.
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.

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.

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.
