Kasturi Ray, Ph.D Associate Professor Evren Savci, Ph.D Assistant Professor “DON’T BE EVIL”: GOOGLE’S LABOR, TECHNOLOGY, AND THE LIMITS OF CORPORATE GOOD Alison Agnes Veith San Francisco, California 2015 Google’s “Don’t Be Evil” motto and its public image as corporate do-gooder are examined through a material and cultural analysis of its internal labor hierarchies and its technological products. By focusing on Google’s hidden contracted reproductive service laborers, as well as the premises and consequences of disruptive, digital technology, this project reveals how the realities of necessary but undesirable work are obscured and contested. This dual focus allows for a revaluation of intimate labors in two ways. First, it reveals that Google’s sustained capital accumulation relies on its reproductive intimate labor. Second, it recognizes that Google’s corporate practices of invisibilizing intimate labor and mediating social intimacies are importantly reflective of the larger social, economic, and cultural trends in our emerging knowledge-based/service-based economy.

  • Slapping the Hand at the Dinner Table: a Practical Tax Solution to Employer-Provided Meal Benefits
    VAIL.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 4/15/2016 9:04 AM SLAPPING THE HAND AT THE DINNER TABLE: A PRACTICAL TAX SOLUTION TO EMPLOYER-PROVIDED MEAL BENEFITS SCOTT J. VAIL* The U.S. Department of Treasury (“DOT”) placed employer- provided meals with 316 other priorities in its Priority Guidance Plan, thereby indicating its intent to possibly require employers and/or em- ployees to pay taxes on this favorite fringe benefit. Congressional concerns of noncompliance, economic inefficiency via burden shift- ing, and inequity among taxpayers have influenced this development. Statutory rules, not new IRS regulations, emphasizing the potential tax incentives can be created that both balance these concerns and still address employer and employee interests. This Note will address problems with and the development of employer-provided meals as well as using illustrations such as Googleplex to demonstrate that a satisfactory compromise is possible.

  • Incorporating Care in Silicon Valley JA English-Lueck, San Jose State
    Intensifying Work and Chasing Innovation: Incorporating Care in Silicon Valley J. A. English-Lueck, San Jose State University [email protected] Miriam Lueck Avery, Institute for the Future [email protected] Abstract The struggle for labor rights is often one of asserting embodied care. Workers negotiate for rest and safe physical conditions. In the United States, further embodied care is translated into health care and family-leave benefits. In Silicon Valley, while labor still struggles in the service and manufacturing sectors, professional high-tech work constitutes another set of challenges and expectations. Start-up culture draws on the university-student lifestyle—where institutionalized care includes a broad palette of wellness care, cafeterias, and structured recreation. So it is not surprising that yoga, massage, food, and managed fun made their way into high-tech workplaces of the late twentieth century. Increasingly, however, that corporate care is a requirement, not a perquisite, of progressive companies recruiting elite workers. Effective care requires personal awareness and corporate surveillance in order to be effective. Corporate responsibility in Silicon Valley workplaces embraces discourses in which worker productivity and care intertwine. This care is not evenly distributed or available to all workers, but still points to an emerging set of corporate care practices. Knowledge workers are expected to work more intensively, and employers sustain them by providing care. That logic of care shaped the social experience of both care providers, such as chefs and concierges, and workers, who learn to be the subjects of such care. Based on two decades of fieldwork in companies from Apple to Yahoo, this article outlines the uneven evolution of Silicon Valley’s corporate care.

  • Defenders Member Support for Bears Ears
    Submitted electronically via regulations.gov May 25, 2017 Ryan Zinke Secretary of the Interior U.S. Department of the Interior 1849 C Street, N.W. Monument Review, MS-1530 Washington, DC 20240 Dear Secretary Zinke: We undersigned 19,671 members and supporters of Defenders of Wildlife urge you to preserve Bears Ears National Monument intact, and to continue to protect its rich biodiversity and unique natural history. President Trump's Executive Order directs a review of national monuments created since 1996 under the Antiquities Act. We support Bears Ears National Monument as currently designated under the Act. The unique and diverse geography and ecosystems of Bears Ears National Monument help protect habitat for countless fish, wildlife and plant species. Threatened and endangered species such as the Mexican spotted owl and southwestern willow flycatcher depend on the monument for essential, rare and undisturbed habitat. Bears Ears is also sacred to several Native American tribes whose rich cultural history is preserved on the landscape. Like other monuments established in Utah and around the country, a fully protected Bears Ears National Monument will prove to be an economic boon to local and regional economies. Communities near other national monuments have benefited from significant growth in employment, personal income and quality of life. Finally, a majority of Americans support public lands protections like national monuments, including 80 percent of western voters polled this year. Please do not succumb to the politics of the day and special interests pushing to open unique and incredible landscapes like Bears Ears National Monument to damaging development and land use.
