Yeah this is a sticky issue because it falls under religious freedom. Would you want to be the director at Google sued for firing somebody due to their religion?
The primary mechanism that is allowing this situation seems to be the split between actual Google employees and contractors.
- Less enforcement of hiring standards and methods allowed a cult member in a management role to hire other cult members and arrange them within his organization
- These contracted cult members primarily work around other contractors, who can only complain to their contracting agency not Google.
- The contracts in place make it nearly impossible for the agencies to put pressure on Google beyond ceasing to do business with them.
What woke factor are you seeing here? Google's doing capitalist stuff here not woke stuff, and a cult has found a hole in the structure they can exploit.
