Marc Roswood, a software architect in the Android division of the Google company Google, has sued the Internet giant for unfair dismissal, having rescinded his contract claiming he was a little sad and depressed lately.<\/p>\n

Although Google’s reactions have been in the first moments to deny such claims, the press department of Mountain View has confirmed the information, adding, however, that it is not a question of unfair dismissal:<\/p>\n

“At Google we want to make people happier, we deal with happy people, it is the goal of all our work, the future is happiness. We can not afford to have a sad person among us. Marc had been downcast for several days, with tearful eyes and humming songs of Leonard Cohen, it was an attitude that could undermine the productivity and mental health of our employees.”\u00a0<\/em>
\n\"Google\"<\/a><\/p>\n

According to surveys, Google is one of the companies that more people would like to work with. In their offices, they have a jovial atmosphere, tables of ping-pong, meeting rooms of colors, futbolines and armchairs with amusing designs.<\/p>\n

In fact, the Ministry of Development of our country has long debated whether the Google headquarters in Madrid, located in Torre Picasso, should be considered a business office or an amusement park.<\/p>\n

Reactions to Google resolution<\/h4>\n

In any case, Google’s decision has been supported by all companies in the sector.<\/p>\n

“We support Google at 200% on this issue.” The sadness is negative, we do not have button on our platform for that reason, “said Hillary Howart, Facebook director.<\/em><\/p>\n

However, there are people who think that, behind this decision, there is a strategy.<\/p>\n

“The new digital platforms are based on proactive users, share content, travel, send memes, pictures of sunsets and groups of friends hunting pokemons …”, <\/em> says a leading Canadian psychologist who prefers remain anonymous.<\/p>\n

“ In other words, the digital business is intrinsically linked to happiness. People who are not happy do not do any of these things, they sit at home watching Doctor Zhivago on VHS and listening to Miles Davis. Problem because they do not generate business.That’s why Internet giants are trying to isolate them. “<\/em>, he finally finished.<\/p>\n

Marc Roswood moved two days ago to his old office assuring that he was happy again and asking to be restored to his post. However, the receptionist, who was disguised as Joker that day, told her that there were no second chances. Before Marc Roswood left the office forever, the receptionist was said to have snapped: Why so serious? <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
