https://twitter.com/RealAbril/status/1341135819487100928 This is really saddening. We are capable of doing so much better as an industry. I believe that Google does have a D&I problem and has major bias in their recruiting practices. I believe most companies in our industry have the same problems, but Google is an industry leader and needs to do much better.
Nice
Goodbye
This is just the beginning. Her and people like her won’t stop fighting for what is right just because it makes people like you uncomfortable. Get used to it.
We solve the problem by firing one SJW at a time. Eventually they’ll get the message and submit to authority.
Why aren’t there more tech startups with black and brown founders? I feel like that would be much more empowering rather than trying to play the system at FAANG.
Why do something useful when you can complain to get what you want?
Says the person at Amazon. Very easy to say “why don’t people who are not given opportunities just start a company?” Hiring at Google should be fair. That is a separate issue from VC funding and fairness in startups.
FFS we are in a pandemic and there is zero headcount. Hiring freeze means no more jobs for recruiters. Why do certain people think they are entitled to their jobs when the market no longer needs them?
Google needs diversity recruiters now more than ever. The company has completely failed to create any real diversity.
Yet their business is very healthy 🤔
Isn’t hiring on race racist? Shouldn’t we look past skin color and look at character, integrity, qualifications, and skills? Isn’t that what Martin Luther King Jr. fought for?
Diverse candidates are greatly underrepresented. This is because the current system is racist. We must take steps to counteract that racism and give everyone opportunities.
But using that same reasoning aren’t asians underrepresented in the NBA? Like Jeremy Lin talked about the racism he faced in the NBA.
Brace yourselves. The bad-faith arguments are coming.
Good fucking riddance.
You just know one side of the story.
D&I numbers at Google and every other tech company tell the remainder of the story. Fact is that our industry has made almost no progress on D&I and mistreats those people that are hired to try to address the issue.
Hmm, she doesn't say why she was fired, just that "Google is terrible." I'll assume a reasonable basis for the termination until I learn otherwise.
She clearly states that she was fired because she refused to be silenced by her managers that didn’t like to be reminded of the inconvenient truths that she surfaced regularly to the people in power at Google.

Doesn’t sound like a victim at all. Sounds like a warrior who fought for justice and was mistreated and won’t be silenced. The fact that your post is getting so many likes is a testament to how deeply entrenched racist sentiments are in our industry.
What is SJW?
