After a year of crises & controversy, the Walkout represented an opportunity for Google to turn itself around. Instead, the response from Google has been the bare minimum to try to keep employees from leaving. They say comforting words, but don't back them up with action. 2/

One cynical take from Google leadership has been: the issues can't be *that* bad, because retention is still pretty high. We'll see how that plays out, I guess. (I *did* appreciate the confirmation that leaving is a more effective tool for change than staying within.) 3/

I don't have another job lined up at the moment, and don't intend to pursue one for some time. I hope to remain active in the tech activism & labor organization spaces. I'd like to improve my guitar skills, improve my physical fitness, & get back to my SNES hobby project. 4/

Leaving won't be easy, because Google is still full of great people. There are many excellent engineers & managers who are conscious of the social and ethical ramifications of their work. I know I can rely on them to do their best to steer the company in a better direction. 5/

I'd consider working at Google again if leadership takes concrete & public actions that show they're committed to ethical & social responsibility: no more projects that enable government surveillance/censorship, & treating *all* employees (incl. TVCs) with dignity & respect. 6/6

p.s. I intend to spend more time streaming video games & go (the board game), so -- instead of a SoundCloud, maybe check out https://twitch.tv/FamiColin .

I agree that many PoC (& people with kids, debt, health issues, etc) can't afford to do this. To me, that increases the urgency to make a stand myself, because others can't afford to.

wow, massive respect!! would you be interested in writing something longer or doing an interview about your decision to leave?

I'd like to write more about ethics & tech in general. I'd also be interested in talking about labor organization & working conditions. For product-related things, it's hard to say anything meaningful, because of confidentiality & NDAs -- I'm not intending to burn bridges.
