How is David Hogue not fired after his Tweet? He's implying violence against Conservatives... Yet James Damore was fired without ill intentions... https://www-westernjournal-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.westernjournal.com/ct/f-google-lead-designer-attacks-gop-conservatives-christians-kavanaugh-vote/amp/?amp_js_v=a2&_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQECAFYAQ%3D%3D#referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&_tf=From%20%251%24s&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.westernjournal.com%2Fct%2Ff-google-lead-designer-attacks-gop-conservatives-christians-kavanaugh-vote%2F
Oh nooooo conservatives get to ban Muslims, talk about Mexicans as rapists, attack affirmative action, deny police bias towards black kids and men, and still be the victims. How will we ever improve as a nation.
I see the Russian bots are out in full force trying to divide this mighty nation. Begone Bolshevik, your kind have no power here! #MAGA
Muslim ban? Stop smoking weed first.
Key difference is this guy didn’t post it on the company’s intranet. Also, since there is liberal bias at Google, he’s not going to upset nearly as many people, so his superiors won’t be forced to take action. Particularly in the Design community this is more or less the average politics i would guess.
Posting on the Internet (Twitter) does not save you from liability with your employer. Watch your code of conduct training.
Where did he imply violence
this is old news also who cares #snitchesgetstitches
Freedom of speech - there was no specific call to action of violence. I don’t agree with him, but I think it’s terrible to think that political speech should impact your employment status. Only poor, unemployed and extremely well connected people would be able to voice a political opinion. Damore should have been promoted instead of fired for actually voicing an original and diverse thought supported by data and reason. More companies should welcome those in the echo chamber.
His downfall was assuming that social science is actually a science - it isn’t. A science would have repeatable, verifiable results. Other than that - spot on. At a population level, not aware of any data he used that was incorrect.
Is it me or are conservatives becoming huge snowflakes?
James actually made a coherent argument also. Google’s bigger issue is how do conservatives work for this guy now without fearing retribution.
Hope you can find the safe space you’re looking for
Weird making this argument, cause Google proved liberals need safe space when they fired Demore
“No you are!”
Can someone tell me if design lead is considered exec at Google or Fox News being #fakenews? https://www.foxnews.com/tech/google-exec-slams-gop-over-kavanaugh-nomination-f-k-you-all-to-hell
Not an exec, not even a manager
Thanks for confirming. Almost felt proud of knowing multiple “exec” friends (tech leads) at Google.
