--- Quote from: Karl Marx on August 09, 2017, 12:53:22 AM ---Well considering he barely grasps the concept of what it means to be an engineer, let alone how to function in a company and behave like a responsible adult, I'd say it actually was the former. --- End quote --- Are you an engineer? Because he is, and so am I. Having an echo chamber is EXTREMELY bad, because not only is there a ton of lost potential creativity but stuff can just straight up fail on you and people can die (that's more on the side of civil/mechanical engineering but the point still stands). This idea that you should never disagree with the group ever is loving cancerous and I'm glad this guy is calling Google out on it considering that they're supposed to be the impartial people and not take sides. Yeah you should work together in a civil manner but if you all just start parroting the same stuff without considering other opinions stuff's going to hit the fan real fast. |

If you're an employee of a company and you cause any sort of contraversy for said company under normal circumstances thats grounds to get fired. |
