Google abandons employee in need
People put terrible things on the internet. Very terrible things. And it’s someone’s job to make sure that regular people don’t run into them. But that is a terrifying job, and it understandably scars a lot of people who do it. Buzzfeed talked to one former employee who told the story.
The ex-employee, who is not named, explains that the job involves spending hours and hours and hours looking at horrible content, like beheadings, child pornography (up to 15,000 images a day), gore, and extreme fetishes. That would be tough for anyone. It was enough to deeply affect this particular employee.
Turns out the guy needed therapy. But since he was on a year long contract, Google just let him go.
