Google employees think they are being ‘spied’ on by the company

Google in the last 18 months or so has faced some or the other kind of employee ‘dissent’. Employees have raised their concerns over a project that Google was supposedly working in China and also staged a walkout over how the company handled certain cases of sexual harassment. Now, a report by Bloomberg reveals that the company employees think they are under surveillance.
The Bloomberg report cites an internal memo from a Google employee where employees are concerned that the company is building a “surveillance tool with the idea of quelling employee dissent. This surveillance tool comes in the form of Google Chrome extension. The extension can document activity at Google and flags any employee who creates a calendar event with “more than 10 rooms or 100 participants.”
