Antifar 08/07/17 10:38:46 PM #1:	https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2017/08/07/engineer-behind-google-anti-diversity-memo-reportedly-fired/547348001/ he Google engineer who wrote an anti-diversity manifesto that has roiled the company and Silicon Valley has been fired, according to reports. Recode and Bloomberg both reported Monday night that the as-yet unnamed author has left the company. Google declined to confirm the firing. The essay by the male engineer began to circulate within the company last week. Titled "Google's Ideological Echo Chamber," it suggests the company encourage "ideological" rather than gender diversity and contends that women don't make up 50% of the company's tech and leadership positions because of differences in their preferences and abilities, not sexism. Fallout from the memo has been so severe that Google CEO Sundar Pichai, who had been traveling in Europe and Africa, cut short his family vacation and told employees he would be back for a town hall meeting Tuesday in order to discuss the incident that's caused an uproar at the company. "This has been a very difficult few days," a company-wide memo sent out by Pichai on Monday evening began. The company strongly supports the right of staff to express themselves “and much of what was in that memo is fair to debate, regardless of whether a vast majority of Googlers disagree with it,” Pichai wrote in his memo.. However, portions of the engineer's manifesto violate the company’s code of conduct, crossing the line by advancing harmful gender stereotypes, Pichai said. “To suggest a group of our colleagues have traits that make them less biologically suited to that work is offensive and not OK. It is contrary to our basic values and our Code of Conduct,” he said. The manifesto had been circulated within Google last week but only became known to a larger audience on Friday when those within the company began to tweet about it. On Saturday the full text of the essay had been published online by the tech site Gizmodo. By early Sunday, it had gone viral. On Monday, Motherboard, which broke the news about the manifesto, published it in full, including what it said was an addition by the author: "Despite what the public response seems to have been, I've gotten many personal messages from fellow Googlers expressing their gratitude for bringing up these very important issues which they agree with but would never have the courage to say or defend because of our shaming culture and the possibility of being fired. This needs to change." --- kin to all that throbs <cite>Antifar posted [p:884374238] in The Google...

Antifar 08/07/17 10:44:50 PM #12:	My take: 1. don't go writing manifestos that more or less accuse your coworkers of being unqualified token hires, and especially don't circulate it among colleagues. 2. In general, employees should have unions and collectively-bargained contracts that protect them from being fired on the whims of higher-ups and over dust-ups like this. If you want workers to feel free to express their viewpoints, worker power is the only way to accomplish that. Would that have saved this guy's job?
