James Damore, famous for being fired over a Google memo critical of feminism and the company’s diversity initiatives (The Right Story has covered this story in detail in mid 2017), has finally filed a discrimination lawsuit through his attorney.
Many former and current Google employees have contributed information to the lawsuit, which you can read in full here ...
The facts are bizarre and disturbing with Google seeming to advocate the following (all fragments cited below are lifted from the lawsuit available at the link above) ...
... if you’re white and male, Google makes sure to constantly remind you that they hate you ...
“Not only was the numerical presence of women celebrated at Google solely due to their gender, but the presence of Caucasians and males was mocked with “boos” during company wide weekly meetings.”
“Damore, Gudeman, and other class members were ostracized, belittled, and punished for their heterodox political views, and for the added sin of their birth circumstances being Caucasians and/or males.”
“Dozens of other employees joined the conversation to insult and belittle the Caucasian male, characterizing his concerns about workplace discrimination as “stupid goddamn devil’s advocate bullshit.” This received hundreds of upcotes from other Googlers showing their approval.”
... Google has communist style ideological training seminars, and then asks you to regurgitate what you just heard if you want to keep your job ...
“In or about June 2017, Damore attended a “Diversity and Inclusion Summit” (“Summit”) conducted by Google at the Mountain View campus. Approximately 100 employees attended this event. Damore felt pressured to attend the event because Google proclaims “commitment to diversity and inclusion” to be an important factor in deciding promotion to leadership positions. Due to his excellent work performance, Damore was on the path to a leadership position at Google before his abrupt termination.”
“The Summit covered general topics such as how Google could increase its diversity. Specifically the Google presenters went through some of their policies that were designed to accomplish this such as treating preferred categories of people (women, certain but not all ethnic minority groups) differently during the hiring process by providing extra interviews, and putting applicants into a more welcoming environment based on their race or gender. The Google presenters also discussed putting “diverse” individuals into high priority queues so that they were more likely to be hired, and hired faster.
“At the end of the program, the Google presenters specifically asked employee attendees to give written feedback on the program. This prompted Damore to draft a memorandum entitled “Google’s Ideological Echo Chamber.”
... Google’s management team will call for violence against your person if you have non left wing political views ...
“On August 3, 2017 George Sadlier, a Director at Google, sent out a mass email condemning James’ essay as “repulsive and intellectually dishonest” and promising an HR investigation into Damore. Sadlier also promoted posts that advocated for physical violence against Damore. Subsequently, on Friday, August 4, 2017, Damore received a late-night email from Alex Hidalgo, a Site Reliability Engineer at Google in Sadlier’s organization, which stated, “Youre a misogynist and a terrible person. I will keep hounding you until one of us is fired. Fuck you.”
... Google supports various extreme left wing militant organizations such as Antifa, which has been branded a "domestic terrorist threat" by the US Department of Homeland Security ...
“Upon information and belief, Google never made any such comments regarding posts supporting the violent vigilante organization, Antifa, or other extreme leftist/anarchist organizations. In fact, a large number of Googlers have set their corporate profile pictures to Antifa insignias, as seen in the image below.”
... Google managers kept “blacklists” of employees they thought might support Donald Trump ...
“Kim Burchett (“Burchett”), a L7 SWE Manager, proposed creating an online companywide blacklist of political conservatives inside Google. She was kind enough to suggest to her readership that they might deserve “something resembling a trial” before being added.
“The primary purpose of these blacklists and suggested blacklists was to encourage and coordinate the sabotage of promotions, performance reviews, and employment opportunities for those with conservative viewpoints.”
... Google actively promotes every kind of sexual depravity, while demonizing normal heterosexuals ...
Google furnishes a large number of internal mailing lists catering to employees with alternative lifestyles, including furries, polygamy, transgenderism, and plurality discussing sexual topics. The only lifestyle that seems to not be openly discussed on Google’s internal forums is traditional heterosexual monogamy.
... the above section of the complaint also references a presentation from an employee who identifies as “a yellow-scaled wingless dragonkin” and another who identifies as “an expansive ornate building.
Some other "fun" quotes from the lawsuit include the following ...
"Next time you get invited to a conference, especially if you're a white male--ask the organizer to confirm you're the only white male on the panel. If not, say you are honored, but must decline, and state the reason...."
...
"... if there is any harm to the interests of white men from [my work] it is more than made up for by the benefits to everyone as a whole ..."
...
"On April 4, 2015, a Caucasian male posted a comment about a “Diversity Town Hall” meeting..... [One manager] responded that she “could care less about being unfair to white men. You already have all the advantages in the world.”
...
"Another manager, referring to those who questioned "diversity" initiatives: "Winter stated: “I keep a written blacklist of people whom I will never allow on or near my team, based on how they view and treat their coworkers. That blacklist got a little longer today.”
...
"[A manager] stated in reference to conservatives, who he categorized as “hostile voices,” “I will never, ever hire/transfer you onto my team. Ever. I don’t care if you are perfect fit or technically excellent or whatever."
...
"The presence of Caucasians and males was mocked with “boos” during company-wide weekly meetings. This unacceptable behavior occurred at the hands of high-level managers at Google who were responsible for 100s, if not 1000s, of hiring and firing decisions during the Class Periods."
... this is some pretty disturbing stuff and especially so if you realize that this comes from a giant corporation that has more power over information flow than probably any other entity in the world right now.
Remember that I warned you ...
