I've been a good little "liberal" my whole life but seeing things like this makes my stomach turn. What happened to judging people on the content of their character instead of their skin color, creed or gender? Google's behavior is appalling and hardly liberal. Once this goes to court, discovery should be even more frightening. What happened to the democratic party?
Yes. This is 1984 brought to life. And they seem to lynch their own with as much fervor. Thankfully people are speaking out against this type of behavior. I applaud Mr. DaMore and I hope he survives his public humiliation.
The case is strong. Google is in a bind here. It's a PR disaster from the onset and this may spark more lawsuits. Who knew that violating EEOC laws wilfully would lead to a lawsuit? But is it even possible to be racist against white people
? Guess we'll find out...
One of the highlights for your reading pleasure:
2. ‘Don’t hire white men’
A few of the messages show Google employees proposing hiring practices that exclude certain groups of men, or putting women in charge of hiring for a year to ensure diversity quotas are met. One employee wrote: “Alternate proposal: moratorium on hiring white cis heterosexual abled men who aren’t abuse survivors.”
I would like to see how that turns out.
