'Fโ€” You!': Press leaks during Google's all-hands meeting enrage insiders and break a cardinal rule at the company

 

Many Google employees were shocked to learn in real time that one of their own was leaking information to reporters during a company all-hands meeting on Thursday.

 

Google managers and employees have a long tradition of not sharing what is said in all-hands meetings, known as TGIFs, but that changed Thursday.

When tweets from a New York Times reporter indicated that someone was providing her with details from the internal discussion, many within the company appeared to react with anger, according to sources.

The result: Google managers were handed a reason not to disclose any more information about the company's controversial plans to operate again in China, and the cofounder Sergey Brin was made to look like a victim.
