    It wouldn’t be a very effective protest if they did it on their own time lol

      “It wouldn’t be very effective if they did it on their own time.” - well it appears to me it wasn’t very effective doing it on company time.

      In fact I would argue that the majority of these stories have a higher impact when they are very much not doing it on company time because then Google fires against the law. There are laws that protect you while protesting or going into a union in certain states. Google has fired numerous times breaking California laws for firing while people are trying to unionize or protest off the company time which I would say is more effective because it garners far more attention.
