Oddly enough, my post this week https://albertcory50.substack.com/p/working-at-google-ads

includes a section about Google hiring Americans to do vaguely similar work, at $15/hour. I say "vaguely" because I don't think my cousin Missy had much racist or sexual content to deal with; at least that wasn't the whole point of the job like the Sama example.

Some of you may have heard this story before. The big company uses a small company to be insulated from the legal complications of hiring. That figured into the story: Google claimed they couldn't fix an obvious inequity, and HR told them to try harder. Missy got paid.

(In case you're wondering, that's not a fake name. I showed this to her beforehand, and she said it was fine.)
