A Google Workspace account suspension has crippled a business owner's operations, highlighting critical flaws in Google's account recovery process. The user, a super admin, lost access to their primary email, Drive, Calendar, payroll, and authentication for key business tools like Pipedrive and internal systems after removing a recovery phone number. Google Workspace suspended the account for 30 days, blocking all email reception and forwards, despite the user completing DNS verification to prove ownership. Recovery attempts repeatedly failed, with Google support offering inconsistent solutions and case managers lacking clarity, leaving the business unable to process payroll or negotiate deals.
