Just finished this article and nothing would make me apply to Google if even half of this were true. http://thefederalist.com/2018/01/10/19-insane-tidbits-james-damores-lawsuit-googles-office-environment/
I consider myself a liberal and I hate everything about Trump and his supporters but.. What I read in this article is sooo terrible and so fucked up. OMG 😲
Totally agree. I see Google should be firing more employees. Insinuating that violence against a coworker is acceptable if you disagree with them IS a fire-able offense.
This article is from the Federalist. Have you read their other articles? It appears to be an extremist publication which blows out of proportion everything. So nothing in the article seems credible. Extremist publications (both left right gossip conspiracy etc) seem like a complete waste of time.
It is from the law suit. You may not like Federalist but you can not deny the internal emails and messages
They didn't file the suit, they didn't invent the emails and screenshots from inside Google. No one is claiming any of it is fake. Doesn't matter if the federalist is the source here, you can read about it many other places.
Google will probably do just fine without you though, AT&T guy
We’re actually holding an emergency all hands to figure out how to get back in the good graces of OP. This is devastating news
Yeah Google would be fine without anyone.. pretentious douche
Da fuq? Any of this true, googlers? Btw, the chick looks like Damore with a wig.
Yeah, I said “chick”.
it’s chicks, plural, non-binary thingy - didn’t you read the article?!
It is terrible to see such an "open-minded" company acting with censorship and suppressing free speech in its own realm. We should all be concerned. This is not about the "diversity" issue. This means that if you have any opinion that is deemed undesirable by the leadership then you and your career will get hurt.
When was this ever not the case? Damore and his ilk can go cry.
A friend at google confirmed that at a discussion we had pre election. He is Democrat and confirmed that if someone was revealed as Trump supporters, then it’ll hurt his/her career. Something along the lines that when one is up for a promotion the recommendations wouldn’t be as friendly.
I wonder if this "progressive" mindset affects their bottom line in any meaningful way or they just have a ton of money and no competitive threats? If they had even a shred of competition in search, would they be funding unbiaseding training, driving equity policies, or focusing on how to beat competition, with merit being of utmost importance?
I’ve worked in both more and less progressive parts of Google. They each have their advantages and shortcomings in terms of how orgs perform at scale. It’s not so simple.
Is it true that all googlers have to start wearing brown shirts to work?
This is not the Google I know and love
So the info in this piece is not true? Honestly, I want to know.
It's true but one sided. Still scares the hell out of me. Luckily, at least at MSFT, 98% of employees are level headed. It's the asshole 1% on each side that show hate and intolerance.
Why shouldn't racists fear for their career? You can't hurt people and expect there to be no consequences. Having ignorant opinions can hurt people.
I am 100% against Trump but to start censoring and monitoring people's political views and make them face career consequences for that is just plain wrong. And I am one of these groups that Trump supporters hate the most
Why is it wrong? They are actively hurting people. This isn't about political views, it's about not allowing a person to harm another without consequences

The man I love hates me because I’m Vietnamese
Sounds like I am exactly the kind of person Google doesn’t want around.
Everything from the article is true. I've seen worse things than what has been released so far as well. A lot of Google is controlled by left wing political extremists.
Why, are you a nazi?
