> I was not allowed to say "I work for Google"

Seriously? That's frankly ridiculous. Performing tasks for someone in exchange for payment seems to me like a reasonable use case for the verb "work", no matter whether your status is employee, contractor, moonlighter, intern, teenager looking for pocket money, etc. It seems impressive to me that they would feel entitled to forbid you from saying so.



Should they even have the right to do that?
