Wal-Mart rolls into town and strangles the local government with lawyers while handing out mountains of cash to groups of people who would otherwise not support them. First hand experience in the 90's.
Click and drool infrastructure engineers make $85k in Ohio. $50k is the pay level of the entry level infrastructure engineers. They are called "my bitch" by the seniors.
It is abit more complicated than that. Most do not consider that people are horrible at assessing financials. Morons will work for nothing since they do not properly value their own time and skills.
In addition, the US has 50MM people on assitance (food, medical, housing) that want only the bare minimum job to keep those benefits. It is a lot of work and mental fortitude required to escape the free benefits atmosphere.
Agreed. The point of drawing such a discussion is to have someone like Damore present his thoughts in a safe environment where the group can discuss it with him. Perhaps after discussing it with people he would change his mind about some of his opinions and grow as a person. The was the whole purpose of the mailing list that got Damore to write what he did. They gained his trust and burned him at the stake for his views so they could punish him for calling Google management dumb Marxists.
Management elicited the comments he put forth. How is this always forgotten? They were trying to discuss these issues so that they could be confronted. No one can speak to these issues at Google any more--trust is lost.
The cornerstone of effective diversity training hinges on letting everyone say whatever they feel/think to the group and let the group respond without calling people bigots or whatever. They shat on the principle that the discussion was supposedly founded on. Why? Because he, in a round-about and clever way, called Google management dumb communists (I would have to dig up his exact phrase but this gets the point across). He should have resisted the urge.
Shaman were not religious...they were nerds. Herb/mycilium nerds. They were concerned with harnessing and communicating with the unseen forces of nature in order to cure the litany of ailments plaguing the people.
This actually happened in manufacturing during the 80's since we were getting our asses handed to us by the Japanese. The Japanese learned that you have to get constant feedback from engineers on the ground and so this philosophy spread to American companies for a while (until they started getting torn apart and sent over seas). Not sure what the buzz-lingo-word for it was.
I once worked for a company where IT was partnered and friends with the bean counters. We had rational conversations and were able to really clean up our technology platform and create an atmosphere of innovation. Then we got acquired. Parent company tech is a fucking mess and they demand we now adhere to their standards.
Can't help it. Our CIO was adamant that we would use the cloud when it made sense to do so. He got overruled by the COO and CEO who demanded CLOUD! So now we roll out shit on expensive cloud VMs. Yawn. It was useless trying to explain that we need our apps to be 12 factor before we can realistically make use of this shit--aside from just spinning up VMs. Clueless.
The Hadoop thing happened to me because management was convinced that it was the way to go (met someone on a plane). I didn't complain because it is/was the hot tech at the time and all the job postings are for the Hadoop ecosystem. I had been trying to get buy-in for about two years on building out an analytics solution so I treated this as a victory despite the overkill solution.
Perfect storm of wasted time and money. Could have easily implemented it with current tech and assets without spending an extra dime. Nope, Hadoop in the cloud to the tune of $40k per month.

Why do people always do that shit! OMG
Right, and if you go to pick up your crap at Wal-Mart you have to see the miserable employees and witness the drama.
Yeah....it was called the fairness doctrine.
Math is hard so the often major in things like history, psychology, or social justice ninja studies.
How the fuck would he have the time to dick with a bunch of supercars?

I would never hire aomeone that dumb.
Right...and there is no way to escape the taxes that actually impact your life.
He would not pay tax on money used to prop up another business. Jesus.

I would take my 1.5MM and travel the world. Fuck your utopia.
Salary cap of $176k? Yeah fuck that place.

He did a writeup for a mailing list that was specifically aimed at the subject.
You are a SJW in search of a villian.

Not white.
If it aint in Gartner it aint happenning.

Some companies went so far as to roll their own Hadoop deployment on commodity hardware and storage. Fuck that.

Hey...an "engineer" answers the phone/email. What more do you expect? They know you can't back out of the multi-million dollar fiasco now.
