DigitalJacobinGoogle Flat-Out Refuses to Bargain With Workers, Prompting YouTube Music Strike
Hot SaucermanGoogle is sitting on the “but they’re contractors!” angle because it makes it easier for them.
Why?
Because once the union does collective bargaining with their actual employer, Cognizant, the company will have almost no recourse but to increase fees to Google for the contract work.
Once this happens, Google just says “Oops, you’re shit out of luck” and then hires a whole new company of contracted workers for the same work, for cheaper.
Google purposefully uses this type of structure to ensure they never have to pay more, even when collective bargaining with unions does happen. Because then they can just shitcan the whole company and claim costs were too high.
That sounds like their jobs require no talent and are easily replaced. Is it so?
I strongly suspect you didn’t even read what they fucking do at Youtube.
Anyway, what they do surely takes more skill than you shitting out thoughtless comments on the internet.
I was basing my question on the plan how Google uses contract work. Well it's fucking hard to just throw that staff away if it's not easy or what? Try to fucking give two seconds of thought before being an asshole fucking shit head.
My question was about them not being easily replaceable, like that other comment seemed to describe.
Have a shit fucking life.
Sounds like you’re talentless and easily replaceable. Sorry about that.
Sorry about coming off as rude but all I wanted was an answer why they'd be easily replaceable because that's the only way Google can willynilly just fire the entire staff. Otherwise the premise doesn't make sense.
But you're probably six feet deep on a five foot pole so apologies probably won't do too much for your.
ramYou really need a ukelele for your apologies.
What can I say, it kinda pisses me off that they set me up and can't even answer the question.
Good news is that since I'm easily replaceable the next guy can worry about the perfect apology.
Gonna go out on a limb and say you could have answered the question yourself in the last (checks time) hour since you first posted you could have, I don’t know, read the fucking article.
Quit making excuses for yourself being a fucking jackass. Sorry you expect people to read the source for you because you apparently can’t be fucked to do so, but can spend an hour removed about how nobody read the article for you and baby spoon fed it to your dumb ass.
Okay fuck off then.
