  • There was one time I was traveling and had to reset one of my passwords. It sent a verification code via email but my email provider wouldn’t let me login because I was in a different country I’ve never been to before. So it was a train of recovery processes to reser my password on a single account.




  • I read some more context about this. This specific team are not google/youtube employees. They are Cognizant contractors working on YouTube Music. Apparently, their contract was set to expire on that exact day they were petitioning the city council for google to recognize their union. So there are 3 things here:

    1. They are attempting to form a union and get recognized by google, but as employees of a different company working as contractors.

    2. By coincidence, their contract was set to end on that day, which is kinda weird that they weren’t aware.

    3. Technically they aren’t laid off by google, they will just report back to their employer. Now what happens with their employment with cognizant is another question. They will likely be “benched” until another client contract comes up, or maybe laid off as well.

    I’m not defending google/youtube here, just sharing information I got that provides more context. Take that info as you will.



  • To be fair, we sometimes have to look through multiple related documentation and tickets to make sure the change was actually reviewed and approved by the necessary teams (network, security, etc.). We also have an SLA for PR reviews/approvals and some people have a habit of sending it out for approval at the last minute of the change window.
