I see today’s smear is “alt-right”.
“Part of building an open, inclusive environment means fostering a culture in which those with alternative views, including different political views, feel safe sharing their opinions, as long as those opinions are pre-approved and do not conflict with any of ours.”
What kind of a bonehead manager fires someone for “promoting gender stereotypes?” I wouldn’t normally think Damore has much of a legal case, but Google’s actions are so ridiculous, it might meet the threshold.
I heard him on Stefan Moleneux(sp?) today. While he may have more of a centrist view, he’s still pretty much a lib who will go crawling back to Google. IMHO.
"...and we're happy to include Mr. Damore in the ranks of the unemployed."
“Part of building an open, inclusive environment means fostering a culture in which those with alternative views, including different political views, feel safe sharing their opinions.
"...unless, of course, they're wrong opinions, in which case 'safe' means 'you're fired.'"
Brown is trying to have it both ways, as usual. In fact, you either tolerate dissent or you don't, because dissent is inherently "hurtful" to anyone who claims they're "hurt" by disagreement and "hostile" to anyone who regards disagreement as hostility. At some point some court is going to rule that political correctness is itself a hostile working environment, which it is. That will not please the Vice Presidents Of Diversity.
A company with a Vice President of Diversity, Integrity & Governance isn't long for this world. This is a company that has clearly gotten away from its core business functions.
I hope he sues Google for five times what they’re worth.
