#6"I work at Google and they've told me to work 125 hours weeks". In that statement I provided just as much evidence for my claim as the article does their claim. In fact, there's more proof for my claim since it has a username tied to it, whereas the article just cites anonymous "according to internal sources".
And yet, this is an article that how many thousands of people will read, and internalize into their model of reality? How much more hate will such an article foster?
Shouldn't we at least require some SHRED of proof for articles such as these?

#8Does America not have the concept of constructive dismissal?
I don't think we do. I've had jobs in the USA since 1984, and I've never heard that term.

In California, you don't need to construct a dismissal. It's an "at-will" employment state, which means you can be fired at any time without any reason or any reason (so long as if there's a reason, it's not because of a minor list of things.)
In practice what this means is, in tech at least, you're thrown a nickle or two in exchange for an agreement, among other things, that you won't sure the company for violating your rights later.
