An engineer who was fired by Google after he criticized its diversity policies claims in a lawsuit that he and others at the internet giant were harassed over their conservative political views.James Damore filed a class-action complaint Monday after setting off a firestorm in August with a 10-page memo blasting Google’s “left bias†for creating a “politically correct monoculture.†He alleged that the presence of women is celebrated because of their gender and that white men were mocked with boos at companywide meetings.“Google’s open hostility for conservative thought is paired with invidious discrimination on the basis of race and gender, barred by law," according to the filing in state court in San Jose, California. “Google’s management goes to extreme -- and illegal -- lengths to encourage hiring managers to take protected categories such as race and/or gender into consideration as determinative hiring factors, to the detriment of Caucasian and male employees and potential employees at Google."https://www.newsmax.com/finance/streettalk/google-anti-conservative-lawsuit-discrimination/2018/01/08/id/835877/
I wonder why the ACLU is not rushing to this guy's defense?Oh, he is a white conservative male.I recall the diversity sessions when I worked in a Fortune 500 company. The guys my company hired to organize them said right up front that all white males were racists and disliked women. When I stood up to complain, no one else would join me.
@IsailedawayfromFR YOU were not playing the game properly. I was disinvited from the last few management by committee meetings my company held before I left for the same reason.
It wasn't long I was out the door as well and the company soon folded.
Good for him!
"Conservatism" seems to have an ever widening definition.Like the guy who ran as a republican here in Michigan a few years ago caught "sexually assaulting" a car
