Apparently it Really Sucks to Work at Adsense
March 5th, 2008 // Brandon Hauber
Like many others, I am yet to receive a response to specifically why my Adsense account was unfairly banned. Maybe the problems with Adsense can be blamed on the fact that Adsense and Adwords are reportedly the crap jobs of Google where promising college elite have their spirits broken with bad management and 45K salary. A current Google employee tells Vallywag:
"I'm surprised that you guys don't shed more light on this, but AdWorders only make $45,000 base plus meager bonuses that are only a few hundred per quarter. It's the worst department because everyone hates their job "Hello, this is AdWords, how may I help you?" The dreaded phone shift, chat shifts, answering emails is the core job. They don't tell you that when recruiting and hiring kids from elite universities."
So if you happen to be the unlucky Adsense representative finally getting around to reviewing my appeal, I want you to know I understand that having a crappy job sucks but give me my damn account back. It's not my fault Google killed your dreams.

UPDATE: Google recently reinstated my account with no mention of why it was suspended. At the risk of being called a hypocrite, I will eventually put Adsense back into a few advertising spaces on this site but for the most park my replacement ads are matching or out performing the Adsense ads that I was using prior to getting temporarily banned.
