Former Google workers sue the company for doing evil
Three former Google employees filed a lawsuit against the company on Monday, alleging that they violated their own contractual moral code of “Don’t be evil.” The trio, along with a fourth worker, was fired from the company in November 2019 for “clear and repeated violations of the company’s data security policies.” The workers deny this claim and argue in their suit that they should be awarded monetary damages for the company retaliating against them for trying to draw attention to their evil doing. The NLRB wrote in May that Google violated federal labor law by “unlawfully discharging” the workers but the matter is still awaiting a final resolution.
