“The real question is how could Google’s management and engineering teams think that they could get away with such a blatant DEI infusion without it being immediately spotted and openly mocked?”
Google management said they were complying with Biden’s EO.
Then 'bull' on Google management. EOs are only binding on executive departments within the government that report to the President, not on private corporations.
Unless Google has proof that specific oversight rules were put into place that they were legally compelled to comply with, that's a bunch of hogwash.
