Can Google just fucking kill this?

Literally all my recruiter spam is coming from groups. Even when I worked at Google internally I raised a ticket with full info of what’s going on and they still haven’t fixed it.

(Yes I have the “can’t add me to groups” button on).




Internal Google tickets have <0 priority unless they get raised in a TGIF or All-Hands or equivalent.

If you know anyone still there, just have a peek at all the internally opened tickets about bricked Android phones. Their processes are...messy.


A random ticket thrown into the abyss might not get any traction, but I find a well considered ticket with appropriate instructions typically results in help. Sometimes it takes a quick ping on chat or finding the right person, but people are generally helpful in routing bugs.

I'm regularly pleasantly surprised when I file a bug for something on the other side of the company and get proper engagement on it.


following linux process priority schema "negative" would mean elevated.


Recruiter spam - wait is Usenet an alternate route to finding a new job?


Usenet? No. Google Groups, sure.
