Google has spent 15 years building a culture of hiding inside information
- In late 2008, an investigation into the Google and Yahoo deal began
- He sent out a confidential e-mail to his employees
- Google wrote that their correspondence could be taken out of context
- Employees were asked not to write speculation, sarcasm, etc.
- Google's warning concerned discussion of “hot topics”
- Google began removing dangerous comments the next day
- This is the first “shot” in 15 years of the “default campaign”
- Employees were warned about being “chatty”
- Employees were encouraged to tag documents with an NDA
- Lawyers were also asked to be added inside correspondences
- Judges have condemned Google several times for this approach
- It has been claimed that Google has “destroyed a lot of evidence”
- Corp. policy advises against retaining anything risky
- Google also advised to avoid metaphors for a number of topics
- It asked employees not to use certain phrases
- For example, “market share”, “dominance” and “market”
- Google denies there is a “culture of withholding information”
- But some employees “don't understand the meaning of some words”
- For example, for them, “privilege” and “confidential” are the same thing
- The courts were amazed that Google was hiding information
