It may not be Googlers flagging this. Any issues where leftists are consistently losing the argument tend to get flagged and buried on HN.
> At a “Diversity Team Kickoff” event, a director announced plans “to freeze headcount so that teams could find diversity candidates to help fill the empty roles,”
> Next time you get invited to speak at a conference, especially if you’re a white male – ask the organizer to confirm you’re the only white male on the panel / in the speaker lineup. If not, say you are honored, but must decline, and give the reason. And because you are at Google, guess what – they’re going to change the panel for you.
Work is to do work and in the US you often times do not even know who the person one cube over voted for.
Damore shared his views on Reddit without using Google name is fine but at work and multiple times even after told to stop is going to be a problem, imo.
But federal labor law likely does have a problem with his dismissal.
And regardless of the law, it's UNETHICAL to discriminate in the name of diversity. In 2018, companies are expected to do the right thing. This article paints a very damaging picture of Google discriminating against white males (Disclaimer: I'm NOT a white male)

I think Amazon disagrees with you. They include this in their job postings:
>Amazon is an Equal Opportunity-Affirmative Action Employer – Minority / Female / Disability / Veteran / Gender Identity / Sexual Orientation.
I don't think you can be both equal opportunity and affirmative action at the same time.
For instance, you might want to setup a workforce of coders with a 50-50 Men-Women breakdown. But since STEM graduation rates indicate a Men:Women ratio of 85:15, it is unlikely, if not impossible to construct a 50:50 workforce without willfully discriminating against men. If you now force the entire industry to adopt the 50:50 rule with a 85:15 talent pool to choose from, you're both discriminating AND defying logic/math!!
In summary - no corporation can possibly disagree with me for I'm calling for the law to be followed as intended.
Then why do they have diversity training seminars and ask for feedback on the information received? He gave them feedback with his memo. Then he posted it to an internal board. They asked for feedback, wanted a conversation and he provided. Someone else released it to the public.

He was told to stop multiple times? Where is this from?
