Google's Debt Trebled in Only 9 Months and It's Not Even the Full Picture (There's Secret Debt, Too)
No wonder there are so many layoffs and workers try to unionise [1, 2]
The corporate media, eternally sucking up to "master Google" (which sends you a little traffic only or more so if it likes you), pretends that things are phenomenally well at Google, but they do not consider the debt and hidden debt, do they? These companies are busy trying to plunder other people's work (under the guise of "training" on "content") without paying attention to an unsustainable model that will go "bang". What they label "model" is not a business model but a gigantic set or sack of other people's work (ripped off, copied without consent).
When companies fail they tend to experiment with rogue business tactics, even crimes (like stealing from their workers). It's one last attempt to carry on before going under.
Keep an eye on Google's debt. It is not a prospect for success, it is a noose for hanging oneself. █
