employees are turned into venerated dreadnaughts without arms or legs; just a worker conciousness sealed into a box with wires in a server rack, able to be switched on and off in eternal agony as the need for a human brain arises

oh, other people that don’t get support are their cloud customers and people that pay for gsuite. I don’t know about google fi or youtube tv or the android app store or chromebook users. but I’m pretty sure what the answer is.

what are ya gonna do?
