There's plenty of other companies that have the other side of the coin in values though that would admire people who stand up. It's very nice to be a good culture fit at a company. I have a Blue Lives Matter flag in the corner of my camera during interviews and it's gotten me some really good offers and I havn't been declined once.

On the flip side, I know many that have been discriminated based on their looks or vocal patterns(trans / lgbt). Alot of companies and people assume these people are a problem because of what goes on at google and decline them due to culture fit.

I actually would prefer that most political stuff stay out of the workplace. So minimize the crosses, the blue lives matter flags, the other stuff.

In many of the more frugal businesses I've seen, folks just don't have the time to strike / protest etc for some of the stuff the FANG folks are into.

Not being able to strike is not the win you think it is, as striking is the most powerful action that labor has and has lead to the very things you enjoy today - weekends and a 40 hour work week.

If you think google/netflix staff are going into the office and grinding out 40 hour workweeks - I live in the bay area - this is a total lie.

They are paid very well, many especially non-engineering roles have VERY flexible work setups.

Netflix had a big strike over Dave Chappelle

"Transgender Netflix employees and co-workers will stage a walkout next week protesting the streaming giant’s decision to release Dave Chappelle’s latest comedy special"

On Spotify we had the demand for employees direct editorial control of the Joe Rogan podcast:

"Spotify staffers are now considering a walkout or full-blown strike if their demands for direct editorial oversight of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast aren’t met."

I don't listen to Joe Rogan, but I don't think my work environment is necessarily helped by the staff at spotify taking over his show.

So these are the content strikes (the public side of internal pressures).

The question currently is, do you want the loudest voices to control all conversation?

Then for sure, support these strikes and have things taken over by these staff.
