If they want to rock the boat who I am to tell them no to.
In these Google cases the problem seems to came from the position they are trying to rock the boat. More as a child rebelling against a parent than as a worker against corporate policies. Problem is they are not as important to Google as a child to its parent, and it´s showing.
In the case of boeing/uber the problem is the regulators are getting more and more relaxed and/or corrupt.
