"Google pays its employees in two ways: monthly or bi-weekly installments, and bonuses. Google's compensation structure is based on three components: salary, bonus, and equity. Salary is determined by several factors, including: Role, Level, Location, Cost of labor in the region, and Pay targets." Literally the first Google (unironically).

I am all for pointing bad things out that companies do but contractors can still be fired or let go if those contractors aren't meeting performance. Tek Systems is a contractor that does just this.

"Performance is assess on the output." - my dude you literally just said, "Google can fire them" what is it with the Lemmy brain? It's a circle jerk in here of people talking about how they are better because they are on a defederated platform using open source tools and software but doing the exact same thing other platforms do. Boxing yourselves in justifying your opinions just to be a part of a group then claiming to have the better opinion that the "shit" you see on Reddit

Lemmy users and the platform are literally no different than others. You aren't better because you are not a "normie" and don't have to deal with the consequences of Windows or other OS's. That doesn't go without saying there isn't knowledge and information to share learn from others and Lemmy has knowledge worth listening to but God damn if some people on here aren't just as likely to just justify their own opinions the same as another platform and for God's sake I get that it's the Internet but if you can say that then you are self aware that your opinion is not completely reasonable without discussing it.

I don't need to find another reason Google isn't the problem because their are many reasons Google is a problem but this case is being taken out of context. If they were employees disrupting the work place and protesting on company time then Google was within their rights to fire them. If the are contractors then from a quick assessment they clearly were not performing as paid and hired to do so. Google had a right to fire these people no matter what side of the fence you stand on. Does it suck? Sure. I don't care if you are a down with Google person if you can't understand this then you are just flat out unreasonable and the same as any other user on any other platform.
