== Inside Google's Shardow Workforce - Bloomberg (July 2018) ==
"...The result is an invisible workforce, off the company payrolls, that does the grunt work for the Silicon Valley giants with few of the rewards. “Many of these workers don’t have a voice on the job. They don’t necessarily get the benefits that many of us think about when working at a big, glitzy tech company,” said Maria Noel Fernandez, campaign director for Silicon Valley Rising, a union-backed group based in San Jose, California that advocates on labor and housing issues. “And they’re not really part of this wealth.” "

== Women say they quit Google because of racial discrimination: 'I was invisible' - The Guardian - August 2017 ==
As Google reels from the fallout over a controversial diversity memo, multiple women say they faced regular discrimination and ultimately left
"More women have since come forward with stories of sexism at Google, and now, people of color are sharing accounts of racial discrimination at the corporation, which has a predominantly white and male workforce, much like the rest of Silicon Valley.
Despite Google’s notoriously strict confidentiality policies, which some say are used to intimidate and silence critics, several former and current employees spoke in interviews about the ways in which they believe minorities, particularly women of color, are denied opportunities and equal pay. They described a culture that tolerates racism and sexism, where white male managers frequently support and promote employees who look like themselves."

== Goodbye, Google (Google was not built for me.) - a Micro-Letter - May 2018 ==
"I will remember a company that never wanted me, that never had my back. A company that let men harass me, stood back and said, "not my problem". A company whose equity pushes are all talk. A company with internal logos like the RIOT logo - a rip-off of Black Lives Matter and other social justice movements. A company who will always put convenience and cash over employee safety. A company full of white and Asian men who, in fact, know everything."
