In May of 2021 I published an article on LinkedIn about my former employer and the discrimination and subsequent two years of retaliation I experienced. Four days later I was fired and despite that being over 18 months ago my former employer continues to control my personal accounts and devices. And not just google accounts I had on my BYOD cell phone while I was employed there but also any new devices or accounts that I create. I first noticed that they were controlling my personal accounts and devices a year ago next week when I caught them deleting files from my backups which they see as corporate data and I see as evidence of their crimes - and the week I caught them was the week I was due to submit evidence to the state for an investigation. In the year that has followed I have purchased six Windows laptops, two Raspberry Pi desktop computers, a Pixel 5a, a Pixel 6 Pro, and two OnePlus N200 phones and without fail they are able to provision each device even when I create an entirely new google account and do not sign into the device with any of my previous accounts. In addition to the pc's and android devices I have purchased four macbook airs and three iphone 13s and all but one of those devices have been purchased and exchanged in the last three weeks. And even with Apple products being a walled garden and creating a new appleID and apple email address for each device they are still able to use Google identity management to provision those devices. And before anyone asks - all of the phones and computers were brand new and purchased by me with my own money and not in any way connected to my former employers. The non-stop bombardment my firewall gets from googleapis, gstatic, clients.google, etc etc etc to maintain the connection to my accounts and devices is ridiculous and I believe likely represents multiple violations of the CCPA every single day. I have attempted to report them to the FBI but who knows if the FBI received it because they insert headers into web requests and completely change how websites behave. The number of scripts I had to delete on this page just to log in to post this question was insane. I have all but given up on my original google accounts even though I didn't start working for them until 2019 because they are constantly moving company branded files between my three original accounts in what I can only assume is an effort to make it appear like I am actively interacting with company documents so that they can continue to claim that they have some right to do so. It's worth mentioning I have had those three accounts since gmail was in beta so I've lost access to over a decade of personal and financial docs to say nothing of all the memories in the form of thousands of pictures that I can no longer access).
I just want this to stop and it needs to stop now because it is interfering with my ability to earn a living as the company I'm doing some contracting work for isn't too keen on a company which offers a competing product like my former employer does having access to their confidential information. Nor do they want them to be able to view my emails and other communications that might reveal product direction or overall strategy. This is beyond insanity that an employer does not have to provide some method validating that new accounts and devices actually belong to them or that the end user is an active employee who has recently authorized the provisioning. I would assume you know that all you need to do is require that workspace customers provide you API access to their payroll provider and voila instant accurate and update employment verification. And though it might now win me any points here - Google you should be ashamed that you allow this to happen. How one can buy a phone directly from you and you allow that new phone to be provisioned to a company a person no longer has a relationship with before the phone is even delivered and despite you possessing the records for the purchase is unfathomable and should be criminal. And that you make it impossible to speak with someone who can help is reprehensible. Despite being someone who works in tech and has signed multiple partnerships with Google and has contacts in the org I can't get access to someone who can help so I can only imagine how impossible it must seem for most people. Anyhow if there is anyone here who can help it would be much appreciated because I have reached the end of my rope.
