    Every tech company names their employees

    That doesn’t make it any less cringy and manipulative.

    a cool way to promote culture

    It’s actually a manipulative way to try to make employees think “we’re all in this together” when in reality they’re treated as completely disposable the moment a dollar of extra profit is available.

    “Employee” feels impersonal and un-team like

    Which it SHOULD. Google isn’t a team. It’s a vehicle for turning labor and ads into corporate profits. Any company loyalty is as one-sided as that towards Donald Trump.

    it has this conotation of Employer-employee relationship

    Well, duh!

    we all try to delude ourselves is not real lol

    Speak for yourself. Some of us try to avoid delusions and manipulative business practices rather than celebrate them.

        Yeah, the fat cats at the head of Google and other companies like them hurt us all. The difference is that I’m not falling for their gaslighting like you seem to be determined to.

            If you don’t hate what the Google leadership does, you’re not paying attention or you’re willfully ignorant. I suspect that it’s both in your case.
