You quoted the word “indirectly” and then ignored it in your response.


No, I didn't. Whatever labor benefits accrued to these jobs and others are below the threshold of detection, so I don't consider them. The fact that they can use google now instead of not using google is certainly a change, but not one I consider relevant to the claim being made.

hth :)


I've had many conversations with line cooks and servers at tech company kitchens. They were previously at restaurants and other food service industry gigs. The consistency and wages provided as a direct result of the benefits that Google gives its engineers made a huge difference to them.

It also gave them and their friends a real tangible alternative and bargaining chip when considering other jobs in the industry.
