> “so many people are apathetic to the atrocities commited by Google.”

Maybe so many people simply don’t view these as “atrocities”? Your wording suggests a privileged life, and ignorance of the practices of the vast majority of companies in the US, abroad, and throughout history. This is particularly true if Google is your idea of a company that treats its employees poorly, to the point that this almost must be taken as parody.

EDIT: Ah, it seems that spreading pro-Amazon, anti-Google sentiment is your main purpose here on HN. A short sample of recent posts:

> Apple and Amazon are adding real values to the economy and making positive contribution to society. Google and Meta are parasites

> I wonder if this bugs exists on FireOS. It's obvious that bugs like this will happen in a spyware company product like Google.

> I wish everyone would start using Twitch, so that we can have a proper alternative of Google/Youtube.

> Everyone should move to Twitch and make it a proper alternative to Youtube. I trust Amazon way more than an ad company like Google.

> Thank you for posting this. Moreover Google is a spyware company that holds users hostages for money. I wish Twitch can replace Youtube someday.

> I really wish Amazon would take charge of the internet infrastructure. I prefer customer obsessed infrastructure Amazon than spyware and adware companies like Google and Meta.

> This is outrageous. We need to find a way to stop Google. Google invades our privacy. Google holds us hostages for more money.

> I wish people would use Twitch more to make it a more viable Youtube alternative. Amazon doesn't have user hostile attitude like Google.

> I wouldn't trust any Google hardware - decomissioned or not. You don't know what kind of spyware they are running on their hardware.

> Exactly. IDK how people can use Google software. You never know when they will quietly inserts some spyware or adware into their so called open source software.

> Amazon is an amazing customer focus company. Google is a spyware company that only wants to make more by invading our privacy. Of course Amazon products will be better than Google.

And so on and so on. Very strange.

EDIT 2: Even more egregious, your submissions: https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=johndfsgdgdfg

People didn't even stop shopping on Amazon knowing full well how drivers and warehouse employees were treated so...

The driver thing could be regional. I have always lived in a less dense area and the drivers always were happy and helpful. Didn't look at all like what I'd expect from the news.

Were they happy, or did they just appear so? Some places punish employees that don't act unnaturally friendly and happy.

How often do you see your driver directly? I see them frequently because I'm often outside.

Once every couple weeks or so, I'm home a lot.

They don't _look_ that miserable, but they also don't look like they get any breaks or free time. They're always on the verge of running.

Kind of like workers at fast food restaurants? I would say so. Sometimes they are happy, sometimes it's just a job.

As long as they aren't treated like shit where I live...

I dunno if 10k tech employees getting laid off with generous severance packages and unemployment qualifies as an atrocity.

Is your issue with them trying to quantify what a "poor performer" is? Or do you think it is immoral for a business to lay off bad workers? Or do corporations at a certain scale and profitability have a moral imperative to employ people just for job creation reasons?

I am just asking because laying off poor performers sucks and it must be a soul-searching moment for whoever it happens too, but I don't know if a business doing it is inherently evil.
