The company offered not just a\ncareer, but a moral project. In the heady early years of Big Tech and when\nGoogle’s in-house slogan was “Don’t be evil,” it was easy to believe that\ntechnology wasn’t just changing the world—it was going to fix it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eStapleton quickly became known as the “Bard of Google,”\npulled into the rooms where the company narrated itself—writing speeches, blog\nposts, and executive communications for leaders including Larry Page. As she\nrose through increasingly rarefied roles, from the storied Creative Lab to\nYouTube marketing, she helped shape the myth from the inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBut as the gap between Google’s ideals and its reality\nwidened, the dissonance became impossible to ignore. In 2018, amid outrage over\nthe company’s handling of sexual harassment, Stapleton helped organize the\n20,000-employee Google Walkout—a defining rupture in Silicon Valley’s\nself-image that \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times \u003c\/i\u003ecalled a “watershed moment\nin tech.” Overnight, she became a public face of employee revolt—and no longer\nsomeone the company could neatly fold back into its story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSharp, witty, and unsparing, \u003ci\u003eDon’t Be Evil \u003c\/i\u003eis\nan insider’s account of how power actually works—and a deeper reckoning with\nthe stories we tell about work, purpose, and ourselves.
