The end of Backdoor Roth?!
I don't doubt it for a minute. I've been on the receiving end of that shit myself at Google. They can be and are slick and careful about how the retaliation happens. In such a way that you might even question it yourself. More Corp now than startup, twisted and evil.
I think most people are missing your reference here but I see it. Harvard comma would help.
“Do no evil”
They were not at all sneaky about retaliation against James Damore
He wasn’t a whistleblower. He was pissing off coworkers and an embarrassment to google, so they axed him rather than being seen as complicit in his dumb memo.
^^^ in your opinion.
At a lot of jobs, you try and unionize or do something like this it’s fireable
Yes they do - even though that’s an illegal action by the company.
It’s not illegal if it’s in writing and buried in the handbook. You cause a walkout and cost the company money and bad press, you should expect something to happen.
Looks like retaliation mirrors the cause - open and blunt against conservatives, sneaky and hypocritical for liberals
Walking out is a liberal thing?
And James Damore was fired for being a writer. Dumbass.
So skipping work is bad for your career? Shocking.
A lot of people do it every year! It’s called sick days, or vacations, or just plain ol’ holidays.
And this was called open defiance. Prolly not in the handbook. Employment is a contract. If you breach it, that’s your problem.
Lawyers always help find ways to legally take care of troublemakers. Laws are to make sheeple feel safe. That's how everything works.
Manager ^^^^
never met a truly intelligent, well-adjusted person who uses the term "sheeple" (side note: or who complains about "haters")
Maybe it’s because a lot of them are the worst people here.
Memegen is a honeypot of all those SJWs these days tbh

On the one hand, retaliation against “whistleblowers” is dumb as fuck and also illegal. On the other hand... pikachu.jpg
😂
Yeah my friend, that’s why I had whistleblower in quotations.
