James Damore Sues Google For Allegedly Discriminating Against Conservative White Men (theverge.com)
An anonymous reader shares a report: The author of the controversial memo that upended Google in August is suing the company, alleging that white, male conservatives are systematically discriminated against by Google. James Damore was fired as an engineer after a manifesto questioning the benefits of diversity programs was widely passed around the company. In a new lawsuit, he and another fired engineer claim that "employees who expressed views deviating from the majority view at Google on political subjects raised in the workplace and relevant to Google's employment policies and its business, such as 'diversity' hiring policies, 'bias sensitivity,' or 'social justice,' were/are singled out, mistreated, and systematically punished and terminated from Google, in violation of their legal rights."
You're feeding the troll!
Thank you. Apparently, the RW SJWs are in a hissy fit. Fuck 'em. I stand by my point and - aside from ACs - am ready to defend it.
Why is "You didn't read the memo" the refrain here? The MRA whining all relies on an assumption he was speaking the truth. (Hence the twitter handle Fired4Truth).
He wasn't speaking "truth." Reading the memo will only make you dumber, it's not a "red pill" that will open anyone's eyes to reality. He was misinterpreting a few scientific papers (the author of one of the studies he cites specifically said Damore gets it wrong), and stating his opinion.
His opinion being that google shouldn't recruit women because they might have on average less aptitude than men for some tasks. This is unarguably stupid: google doesn't hire average people. Women working at google have more aptitude than your average dude probably in most areas.
As opposed to all the other groups protests (discrimination, wage gap, "unwelcome advances", etc) that gave everyone at work the warm fuzzies and a general feeling of unity.
Like which ones specifically? Do you work someplace where work is interrupted by people protesting? Do people at your work get upset when someone says "Hey, lets stop sexually harassing"? Or are we just making straw man arguments?
