I have an offer from google but am hesitant to take it because of all the headlines recently. I don’t want to be written up for a “microaggresion” or “mansplaining” so wanted to see how many folks you interact with that are SJWs. Is that concentrated in specific orgs? I’m looking at Google assistant org specifically. TC: $250k Google TC: $290k
Here’s a pro tip. Don’t be an ass hat and you’ll probably be fine.
The issue is that the definition of asshat changes every day, I can’t keep up with what’s PC and what’s not.
It does not. You’re just a sensitive person that probably also thinks your shit doesn’t stink. If you exercise basic courtesy you won’t have any issues.
Ask your recruiter, and the hiring manager.
Not many SJWs in my team, I think it's org specific. Besides, after going through Noogler orientation you will know what to do and what not to do, could take a month to get the feel of the culture.
Yes but you don't interact with those people. They are too busy doing their diversity conferences and explaining how diversity improved engineering that they don't have time to actually contribute or attend design meetings
Lol probably true

Interesting how you'd rather avoid change than evaluate yourself and make changes there instead. How sad.
What does this even mean? I want to know what I’m stepping into. The last thing I want is to end up killing my career because someone has an Ax to grind against me because I’m a straight white male
Woah Apple... did you just use those words all in the same sentence? Straight...white...male... we can't be having that.
Based on what you've been posting in this thread, you don't belong at Google anyways 😂
Sounds like you’d fit in great at Amazon.
From what I've seen, Amazon focuses on getting shit done and not on identity politics.
Can you please leave Apple first and stop whining?
I like Apple. Much less SJW and virtue signaling than other bay companies despite an openly gay CEO
Most of the publicly toxic people I know, or know of, at Google are actually quite pleasant within their own teams. There are definitely company wide asshole sjws but you're probably not going to interact with them personally unless you hang out on the politically sensitive mailing lists, so don't, and don't be a jerk, and you'll be fine. The negative impact the SJWs are having on the company overall is a lot more relevant, and is probably worth some concern.
