Google CEO Sundar Pichai cut his the vacation short and returned to the company's Mountain View, Calif., headquarters as criticism mounted over a senior engineer's controversial memo condemning Google's diversity initiatives. The engineer was subsequently fired.

The memo, which some inside Google jokingly called a "manifesto," was widely shared inside and outside the company.

James Damore wrote that "biological causes" are part of the reason women aren't represented equally in its tech departments and leadership. In addition, Damore said men have a "higher drive for status."

Damore also criticized the company for being an "ideological echo chamber" that made it hard to dissent from "Google's left bias" and "politically correct monoculture." He also faulted the company for offering mentoring and other opportunities to its employees based on gender or race.

Perfectly stated.

Pretty much. Google is about one of the greatest forces for evil on the planet. For the good of humanity Google must be destroyed or at the very least defanged, starting with Dr
Damore sueing Google for wrongful termination, the DOJ during them for discrimination plus bringing a massive anti trust action against Google like the European Union already has. The EU already found Google guilty of massive anti trust violations.

if I google “Inventor Americano” most of the inventors are still Black.

Try it at "google.es"; I got very different results from "google.com."

“Damore also criticized the company for being an “ideological echo chamber” that made it hard to dissent from “Google’s left bias” and “politically correct monoculture.””

The firing proves his point.

Marissa Mayers worked at Google and slept with the boss.
Being smart was not enough at Google.
She later became CEO of Yahoo due to her working at Google and wrecked it.
