Google employees and managers strongly preferred to hear the same orthodox opinions regurgitated repeatedly, producing an ideological echo chamber, a protected, distorted bubble of groupthink. When Plaintiffs challenged Google�s illegal employment practices, they were openly threatened and subjected to harassment and retaliation from Google. Google created an environment of protecting employees who harassed individuals who spoke out against Google�s view or the �Googley way,� as it is sometimes known internally. Google employees knew they could harass Plaintiffs with impunity, given the tone set by managers�and they did so.

I swear this sounds like George Orwell and that's before you even get to "groupthink"

ot: that actually sounds like how quite a few large companies operate though

At her press conference, Dhillon said Google shareholders will be �pretty shocked to find� that employees are spending their time �talking about furry love clubs and toxic whiteness,� rather than doing their jobs.

The google echo chamber, you can't have any conservative views in google. There is a metokur video on it, worth a listen.

i remember reading an article about why his memo caused him to be fired. it had no bearing on political terms, and talked purely from the perspective of internal office relations. basically his memo was very polarizing and stood a good chance at destroying the work environment by forcing everyone to pick sides on a controversial idea.

this just proves hes not really sensitive to his former colleagues cause hed rather take down everyone in pursuit of his personal agenda. yes, its good that theres some transparency about google workplace culture, but this kinda thing hurts more than just the people you explicitly target.

RedGajin · January 10, 2018, 01:51:42 PM

is there proof or anything or is it just a guy mad he got fired

ChappersTeddy · January 10, 2018, 01:53:27 PM
