The U.S. Department of Labor has just sued Google in an attempt to get the Mountain View tech giant to cough up compensation data for an audit of its compliance with federal labor laws.

The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs had in September asked Google to submit particular information, according to a news release Jan. 4 from the labor department.

"As a federal contractor, Google must agree to permit the federal government to inspect and copy records and information relevant to its compliance with the equal employment laws," the labor department said.

"Despite many opportunities to produce this information voluntarily, Google has refused to do so. We filed this lawsuit so we can obtain the information we need to complete our evaluation."

  Guy couldn't answer my first question. That had never happened to me before. I scrambled for another ez peazy question, he couldn't answer that either. The 45 minute interview ended with me trying to come up with a question he could answer, and failing... what an asshole I was.

  What? That's the definition of white guilt.
