It would surprise me if Google didn't have those accounts linked anyway, thus undermining your policy.

A Google employee once called me on my personal cell phone when I was a few minutes late to a business meeting. I still don't see how that could've happened unless they'd linked my work (g-suite) account with my personal (gmail) account, and then allowed their employees to access personal data in a totally inappropriate fashion.

Maybe there's some other explanation, but I can't fathom what it would have been.

There's probably some other explanation. I wasn't under the impression Google employees can just go read your data like this. And if you want to believe imagine they can -- it'd be dumb of them to do it in this fashion. If you didn't leave your number on your emails/website/resumes/Facebook/etc. or given it out previously then maybe the employee got it from someone else who had your number.

Thank you for sharing your completely uninformed opinion, and asserting it as fact with literally no reason to think it's more correct than mine.

I in fact do have evidence to believe it's more correct than yours but I have no inclination to discuss it further.

You claim that you have secret proof which you refuse to share, but that sounds more like a troll or a bullshitter than somebody with actual evidence. I wonder why.

Evidence. Not proof. And it's not secret. Just not something I'm inclined to share here.

> which you refuse to share, but that sounds more like a troll or a bullshitter than somebody with actual evidence. I wonder why.

Because of (1) my privacy and (2) the fact that you're attacking me like this. You're welcome to see me as a troll if you'd prefer that.

[riverbender]

What's the _nature_ of this evidence that you claim to have?

I have phone calls and e-mails to a personal g-mail account that make literally no sense to receive _unless_ Google had linked my personal and business accounts in a CRM someplace; an d then given access to personal contact info to some of their staff.

> the fact that you're attacking me like this

How is this an attack? I've done nothing to you that you didn't do to me. Except in my case I revealed the nature of my evidence whereas you revealed literally nothing. You just came up with a dumb and obviously false hypothesis and declared it true.

Employees don't have any more access to your information than anyone else.

The point isn't to avoid any connection between the accounts. The point is to ensure that my primary account can leave those histories turned off.
