Why do you assume Google is so good? Or so unavoidable?
Recently Google bought Quickoffice and booted two offices of android devs + QA in Ukraine without even paying them 2-month equivalent of salary for the inconvenience. Not sure if they are going to sue.
You can argue it was not "The Google" but some of their proxies, but it doesn't matter: as a company they're cool with that, saving some dimes by ripping out employees they aren't going to use, when they can get away with that.
So what? I didn't doubt Google invested; I just claim it's not as important because Google isn't actually good when it comes to treating 3rd party employees.
You didn't read the whole thread. The thread was initiated by someone who works at Google, and says ""Frankly I'd hesitate in working for any company backed by the same VCs that let this happen.".
