>One cannot publicly criticize a company while enjoying cushy paychecks
Why is it that you think that the people who see the sausage being made are exactly the ones most unqualified to criticize it?

Ultimately, I think hypocrisy is the wrong lens to look at this through. Activists are not seeking purity or moral perfection, we're seeking change. Change requires organizing, which has to start within the company. An individual employee does fuck-all if they leave by themselves.
No, that's not it at all.
He's saying you get together and tell the boss "Hey, there's some rat shit in this sausage, but I'm gonna go ahead and keep making it."
That's why it's perceived as illegitimate. You're expecting other people to sacrifice but not yourself.
Absolutely no one at Google is doing that. What is happening is that these employees are telling their bosses "we would prefer not to shove rat shit into sausages" and the bosses are saying "no". Then these employees are going home and posting about it on social media and going back to work making the same sausage the next day.
