I’ve been in hiring meetings, probably 12-15 of them, where we screened candidates by education level. It literally did not matter to the hiring manager what field their degree was in, where they went, or if they’d even graduated yet. He just wanted everyone to have or to be working towards a degree.
This was a call center. The job posting literally only listed high school diploma or equivalent as a job requirement. There was absolutely nothing about a college experience that would markedly improve your work at that job.
When that was explained to him, as only a handful of applicants during one round of hiring were even in school, he said, “if they haven’t been to college they quit sooner.”
That was it. The only justification for screening out people without higher education. He had a hard time keeping people at work and figured that people with worthless degrees would feel more stuck than people without them.

It’d be real cool if that could be made in to a mobile game. I’m so rarely at a desktop anymore

He’s in one of two cars, they’re easily identifiable. The rest are various security assets. Armed dudes, jamming suites, surveillance, etc.

No no no, they only care about the best interests of their employees! That’s why they spend so much fighting unions. It has no profit motive whatsoever. Because, obviously, the union won’t be able to secure any better wages or benefits anyway! So there’s really no reason to unionize. Ever. Don’t even talk about it. Definitely don’t talk about it with your co-workers. Definitely don’t leave union literature on the break room table. Certainly don’t bring up unionizing to a few people you trust.

They’re almost certainly one of the more profitable Google services or they’d have been cut loose by now.
Google serves ads, YouTube is a great platform for them to serve ads, and they don’t even have to pay content creators that much, because they serve their own ads. The biggest expense is probably bandwidth and memory, which Google owns enough of to sell off bits they aren’t using.
