Hey Google Folks,

Danielle Brown has been at Google for over a quarter now. What do you have to say about her diversity efforts or is it still too soon for comments? Has she instigated her white/Asian male discrimination policies yet?

IMHO, she was a complete BOZO at Intel. Her discriminatory URM policies were but another nail in Intel's coffin. We really need to purge all of the MCM, especially the king BOZO BK.

I am so glad that she is gone from Intel but I wouldn't wish her on any organization or company.

    I met Danielle when she was driving the Diversity and Inclusion efforts at Intel. I asked her how could she measure inclusion, or evaluate it, and she said that she was working on these things. I asked her again six months later and got the same answer. Then she left Intel. I hope she does a better job at Google :)

      Exactly Jeff Bezos!

      All we need to do is fall in line and believe in the cult of Danielle. Of course we white/Asian males are the source of all URM oppressive discrimination for centuries and we must atone for the sins of all the previous generations. God knows I must be punished for being a white male.

      I had the same experience. One month into her role and the announcement of the $300 million toward the effort, I brought her a Women+Tech proposal: she said there was no money available. I asked about the $300m - she said it was all allocated. WTF? 😳🤣 classic

    Danielle Brown is just a figurehead at Google. She is no more than a marketing gimmick. She will not easily be able to increase URM hires at Google the way she did at Intel - Google's bar is simply too high. Since Danielle is a smart ambitious person she will not tolerate her handcuffed stifled "token" existence at Google for long. I bet Danielle leaves Google within 2 years. But at elite companies WTF do Chief Diversity Officers do ? I can tell you that my black Intel colleague phone interviewed with Google for a SW Engineer position and Google DID NOT cut the person any slack. This colleague went in with zero preparation however. Point is this person was EASILY hired into Intel as a SW Engineer 4 years ago and has ZERO chance of even attending a Google onsite unless said person studies hard for 6 months. Danielle will never be able to "fix" that.

      techymechy I don't disagree with you but Danielle has political smarts which can't be discounted - she is an ambitious climber. Like it or not these political maneuvering skillz will help her throughout life, even at Google.

      nonoeyes. I agree, Danielle is ambitious and a political, brown nosing animal. But, doesn't one have to produce something in their "career" that justifies their existence? I haven't seen anything positive coming out of Danielle's efforts at Intel. She did a lot of damage! But you are right, when it comes to sharp tongue, political, butt kissing -Danielle can run circles around me. When it comes to doing value added work, i have her beat.

      Of course, BK fully supported her and pulled her up in his perverse manner.

      The only thing I can do is to donate to "students for fair admission" using Google's holiday donation credit this year, contribute what I can do

      Can't tell if everyone is trolling or if there really are this many complete imbeciles in the industry.

    My impression is mainly from her public-ish communications answering various questions and mass mails.

    I don't know her much she's able to affect hiring standards. Fellow googlers are fairly alert to non top talents.

    I think her main contributions to toxicity comes from bringing mainstream belligerence and aggressive virtue signaling to a normally analytical and rational Google culture. She essentially empowers the more gullible sjw portion of Google to groupthink and intolerance, red guard style.

      Ya it's a bit more nuanced. She's definitely doing massive damage to the culture. With her backing, sjw brown shirts are patrolling the cyber streets and violently oppressing all forms of independent thoughts and dialogue. Culturally, Ruth and Susan are in that category too.

      But I don't think these corporate non googley types totally took over upper management and have a blank check yet. Mainly because unlike many other companies, Google's financial structure is an oligarchy instead of a democracy which makes it a bit more stable. Larry and Sergey aren't as mindless as these corporate types and less corrupt than Eric to start barking for Russian white supremacists' blood as soon as CNN tells them to.

      In the long run, I'm more worried about the power elites like Susan doing real societal damage with YouTube deep state censorship than Danielle with a clique of rabid and violent religious followers. The SJW trend is weak enough on its logical legs that it'll tumble by itself in Google. Might make a whole bunch of people quit and take many quarters to make its follies obvious but it won't cling into Google forever.

      K9&/z1....I hope that you are right about the Brown shirts at Google. Brown nose ran amok at Intel, but BK and the Intel MCM are really weak and could be influenced by the Brown nose.

      I hope that she will be put under control or get her ass canned before the productive employees leave.
