RE: Why I don't really have that much sympathy with the Google employee who got fired
This is vaguely similar to an article I recently posted, but my emphasis was somewhat different. Yes, he deserved to be fired (he knew what he was doing), but, if this was a feminist complaining from the reverse position, i.e. memos arguing the opposite, would that employee have been fired?
Edit: + Would it have been acceptable to fire her?
Nope. Of course she wouldn't be :)
But he should know what he is up against. You don't share something like that, criticizing your employer, who is know for their very leftist ideals and act surprised when you get fired.
I'm not defending Google. But like I said, I don't really have that much sympathy for him. Everyone knows what kind of ideals Google has, so for him to be surprised is just weird. If you dance with the Devil, don't be surprised when he forks you in the ass.
Was he surprised? That was my point - he knew exactly what he was doing and what the outcome would be.
(My point about a feminist was merely an aside.)
but i need to agree with that feminist thing.
I`m almost 100% sure, that if that guy was: gay, trans or other skin colour then white, then they wouldn't fire him.
Even more. if that kind of person would complain that Google don't hire enough minority then it would be a big affair.
and that's for me the totally opposite from equality.
