Fantastic.
Because?
"Hate speech" is a real thing there that will land you in jail.
Breaking the law is breaking the law.
Yes, if you oppose or even voice disagreement you lose your job.
I expect Googles behaviour in this instance was illegal.
How so?
Gas is about 2x as expensive in the UK. I work in London but commute (by motorcycle) from the next county.
Plenty of people commute by car even though it's considerably more expensive.
It's not about miles covered, it's about energy consumed.
100 miles on the freeway would use the same amount of fuel as 30 miles in the city with traffic.
"These immigrants, coming over here, getting better grades than the rest of us"?
That just becomes an admission of stupidity.
It's not perfect but it's there.
Facebook only a few months ago began helping Pakistan "fight blasphemy", sending a team to the country.

Only for a man to be sentenced to death for committing blasphemy on Facebook a little while later.

Facebook say they are not responsible for this but it's obvious they have blood on their hands.
Investors won't like this as debt has a higher priority in getting paid than they will.
A settlement agreement whereby the employee (you) gets a severance payment, which may (depending on your tax jurisdiction) be paid in installments over a period of time (years even).
Separate to the settlement agreement you sign over all(most?) your shares, and make it "clear" that the shares being handed over have nothing to do with the settlement agreement (of course they ARE related, but legally they must not be, talk to a lawyer about this).
A severance payment spread over years is much more attractive to investors as it means they take higher priority in the event of liquidation of the company.
It doesn't include anything other than percentages or their sources, no total numbers.
We have no way of knowing how statistically significant it is.
The post also bundles EU and non-EU candidates into "foreign candidates" which distorts the picture as a whole.
What has historically been a system which favours EU candidates over other International ones has now been leveled.
Made one small change and everything broke.
Looked into the tests, oh the humanity!!!
Dropped the test suite entirely, haven't had any issues since.
We have VERY good logging and notifications though so anything goes wrong we know all about it.
